About I Am Fill'd with Heavenly Treasures

Words: Shaker song (Mary Hazzard's songbook, about 1847)

Tune: Shaker song (Mary Hazzard's songbook, about 1847)

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.
