The  words  in  this  song  are  taken  from  “  Zion  Songster,”  page  268,  published  in  1832.  The  name  of  the  author  is  not  given.  While  the  outline  of  the  above 
appears  in  some  of  the  books  of  the  early  part  of  the  nineteenth  century,  it  was  so  remodeled  as  to  make  it  practically  a  new  tune,  by  Major  White,  about  1844.  He 
added  the  chorus.  It  originally  had  this  chorus,  “  Farewell,  brethren,  farewell,  sisters,  till  we  all  shall  meet  again.”

CHORUS.

I  am  bound  to  live  in  the  service  of  my  Lord,  I  am  bound  to  die  in  the  army. 
f  Sweet  an-gels  beck-on  me  a  -  way,

I  am  bound  to  live  in  the  service  of  my  Lord,  I  am  bound  to  die  in  the  army. 
It  is  supposed  that  Prof.  E.  J.  King  composed  this  tune  at  the  same  time  that  Major  White  composed  “Shouting  Song,”  and  they  are  intended  to  match  each 
other.  The  tunes  are  similar,  and  have  been  printed  in  “  Sacred  Harp  ”  in  the  different  revisions.  We  are  unable  to  find  the  author’s  name  of  the  hymn,
