I just corrected "shall not the overflow" to "shall not thee overflow" in the text authority (I guess) but then decided there were enough other issues I needed to look at a scan of Rippon. But I can't remember where it is to be found.

Also, having noticed that the Southern Harmony sets the text to two tunes, neither of which is our normative FOUNDATION nor our outdated PORTUGUESE HYMN, while setting the closing hymn (THE CHRISTIAN'S FAREWELL — Farewell, my dear brethren, the time is at hand) to an arrangement of what we now know as FOUNDATION, I am wondering what other tunes "K"'s text has been set to through the centuries.

Text corrected to reflect 1790 ed. of Rippon.

Now I need to locate my African American Heritage Hymnal and see whether the "shall not the overflow" typo originated in that book or in the Hymnary's transcription.

The AAHH printing is correct, at least in my copy.
