The hymn, “ Voices Crying Out in the Wilderness,” is traced back as far as the “ American Vocalist.” Both hymns and tunes have lost the authors’ names,
and, like many others, they have left no record of beginning of dates. In the old “ Sacred Harp ” this tune is credited to Thos. W. Carter. Perhaps he may have
made some changes in the tune, so as to credit himself with the changes, but the melody was written many years before his time, and was among the old tunes that
have stood the test through the ages. It is a very fine piece of music with which to stir the emotions of the people.
