[...] This patriotic song, that became the battle cry of the Union in the American Civil War, first appeared in the February edition of The Atlantic Monthly, in 1862. The composer of the tune is unknown. It had been used for many different lyrics previously, including the abolitionist song that begins, “John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave.” It was to give a more uplifting text to the fine tune that Julia Ward Howe wrote her Battle Hymn. For more on this song, see Today in 1861. [...]

Excellent. Great idea to emphasize the spiritual dimension of a Christian wedding. Sadly, the trend seems to be in the opposite direction, with “You are the wind beneath my wings,” etc. being chosen as wedding music! (Nice song, but this is a wonderful time to give a strong Christian testimony.)

I used this song in my wedding. Instead of the traditional wedding march, I walked down the aisle to this tune, then the soloist sang it before the “Who gives this bride. . .” As the years have passed, I have a collection of over 120 sheep, significant of the love I have for my Shepherd.

Thanks for the information about “The Sands of Time”. I just now found all 19 verses, and their history. What a connection to the saints that lived before us. I have loved this song from my teens–always felt something moving deeply inside me when I encountered it. I have 8 precious children, and my husband has left me alone, and as I pray for his return, I now reach again for the truths and beauty in this hymn, and to Immanuel Himself. Blessings to you, Rebecca
