Im Original

Published in The Singing-Master's Assistant , 1778, pp. 91-99. Words by Billings. Independence is a patriotic sacred anthem. it is well to remember what life in Boston was like in 1778. There is a resemblance in the words to parts of J. S. Bach 's early cantata, Gott is mein König. God is my King, BWV 71. of 1708. the music is very different. It is doubtful that Billings knew of it.
