What Wondrous Love Is This

"What Wondrous Love Is This" is a Christian folk hymn, sometimes described as a "white spiritual", from the American South.〔Joyner, (p. 22 ); Routley, (p. 183 ).〕 Its text was first published in 1811, during the Second Great Awakening, and its melody derived that of from an English popular ballad. Today it is a widely known hymn included in hymnals of many Christian denominations.〔
==Origins==


The hymn's lyrics were first published in Lynchburg, Virginia in the 1811 camp meeting songbook ''A General Selection of the Newest and Most Admired Hymns and Spiritual Songs Now in Use''.〔Glover, (p. 829 ); McKim, (p. 78 ).〕 The lyrics may also have been printed, in a slightly different form, in the 1811 book ''Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Original and Selected'' published in Lexington, Kentucky.〔Glover, (p. 829 ).〕 (It was included in the third edition of this text published in 1818, but all copies of the first edition have been lost.〔) In most early printings, the hymn's text was attributed to an anonymous author, though the 1848 hymnal ''The Hesperian Harp'' attributes the text to a Methodist pastor from Oxford, Georgia named Alexander Means.〔
Most sources attribute the hymn's melody to the 1701 English song "The Ballad of Captain Kidd", which describes the exploits of pirate William Kidd (misnamed "Robert" in American versions of the ballad).〔Bonner, p. 378; Cobb, (p. 30 ); Crawford, (p. 167 ); Jackson (1951); Nicholls, (p. 153 ); Ogasapian, (p. 107 ).〕 The melody itself predates the Kidd usage, however, possibly by more than a century.〔Cobb, (pp. 30–31 ); Crawford, (p. 167 ); Jackson (1951); Jackson (1968), p. vii; Lomax, p. 8.〕 (In addition, at least a dozen popular songs were set to the same melody after 1701.〔Cobb, (pp. 30–31 ); Jackson (1951); Lomax, p. 8.〕) In the early 1800s, when the lyrics to "What Wondrous Love Is This" were first published, hymnals typically lacked any musical notation.〔Bonner, p. 377.〕 Camp meeting attendees during the Second Great Awakening would sing the hymns printed in these hymnals to a variety of popular melodies, including "The Ballad of Captain Kidd", which was well known at the time; this is likely how the text and melody came to be paired.〔Bonner, pp. 375–78.〕 The text and melody were first published together in ''The Southern Harmony'', a book of shape note hymns compiled by William Walker. Sources disagree, however, about which edition of ''The Southern Harmony'' first contained the hymn, giving contradictory dates of 1835,〔Routley (2005a), (p. 183 ).〕 1840,〔Music & Richardson, (p. 293 ).〕 and 1843.〔McKim, (p. 78. )〕 The three-part harmony printed in ''The Southern Harmony'' was arranged by James Christopher of Spartanburg, South Carolina.〔 In a later printing of the hymn, William Walker noted that it was a "very popular old Southern tune".〔Eskew and McElrath, p. 164.〕
