From a book of hymn/psalm tunes called American Harmony or Church Music Revised. The book is a collection of tunes copied out by Aaron Cowling – he composed at least one of the tunes, but they seem to be mainly by other composers. The website dates the book 1789. This tune is recognisably a version of The Constantine Funeral Hymn. Possibly never published/printed. (Peter Meanwell / Hilary Coleman)
