<p class="just">Haldor Lillenas originally wrote the tune for a song by Alfred Barrett, &#8220;Let It Be You and I.&#8221; The tune made its way to Arthur McKee, an evangelist and editor at the Tabernacle Publishing Company. McKee didn&#8217;t care for the lyrics, and asked Avis Christiansen to try her hand at writing new words. She did so, and the result was published in 1916 in <em>Tabernacle Praises</em> (edited by McKee). Lillenas was not happy about the change in lyrics, but eventually
accepted them when the song became popular.</p>
