History: |
"One of the earliest popular praise choruses, this venerable number of nebulous origin is based loosely on Battle Hymn of The Republic which was composed during the American Civil War.
Do Lord emerged in part in the 1920's and became popular at church meetings, although not always during worship time. There are hints that it may have emerged from the fields pre-antebellum [i.e. before the American civil war], but traces of the song before the early 1920s are hard to come by. One of the main differences from hymns is that spirituals were among the only religious pieces of the 19th and early 20th centuries that were truly strophic - using verse and chorus format. Most hymns are a repeated verse-only melody with multiple verses, and maybe a common tag. Do Lord seems to automatically induce the need to clap largely due to the chorus syncopations" Web Source |
