#354: Calvary

[lutheranhymns]

This is cited as just "African American spiritual," and in the way of many traditional folk songs from every part of the world, probably evolved and diverged from other songs/merged back with different texts many many times before being codified. So I have no source for this, but I'm guessing it's related to "I Want Jesus to Walk with Me"--their melodies are similar, and the last lines even more so.

By the way, the latter hymn was notably sampled by Kanye West.
