I Am Fill'd with Heavenly Treasures
A short Shaker song from Mary Hazzard's songbook, "Sung by Jack thro Abram P. on the holy Mount" on August 30th (1847, by the dated song above it on the page), for 2 to 4 singers, in a lilting 6/8. After "I am fill'd with heavenly treasures" and each "Praise, praise", the soprano carries the last word through a run of wordless notes while the alto and tenor sing "oo" beneath and the bass holds the roots.

About I Am Fill'd with Heavenly Treasures
I Am Fill'd with Heavenly Treasures is a short Shaker song of joy: "I am fill'd with heavenly treasures", then "Praise, praise, praise, praise". It survives in Mary Hazzard's manuscript songbook, begun in 1847, with no title, only the line "Sung by Jack thro Abram P. on the holy Mount Aug 30th". Its year comes from the song above it on the same page: "August 30th 1847. Sung by the Savior on the Holy Mount thro Abm Perkins". Our tune and words are read from her page, written in the Shakers' notation of letters, a fourth lower, in E minor, with every pitch as written, and the four parts are our own. This is both strains, each sung twice as the book marks it, for 2 to 4 singers, in a lilting 6/8. Courtesy Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library.
