Authored by Mary Peters (née Bowly), this communion hymn first appeared in Psalms and Hymns (London, 1842, Part II, No. 253) in seven stanzas of four lines. Mrs. Peters revised the text for inclusion in her Hymns intended to help the Communion of Saints (1847, No. 39). The original 1842 text remains the version most commonly used in hymnals.
