<p class="just">Haldor Lillenas originally wrote the tune for a song by Alfred Barrett, “Let It Be You and I.” The tune made its way to Arthur McKee, an evangelist and editor at the Tabernacle Publishing Company. McKee didn’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>
