HEPHZIBAH (known as TISBURY in some later tunebooks) first appeared in print with the Isaac Watts text "There is a land of pure delight" in A Collection of Psalm Tunes (London, c. 1790). The first appearance of "Amazing Grace" with any tune appears to have been with this tune in A Companion to the Countess of Huntingdon’s Hymns (London: c. 1808).

This image is from The Bridgewater Collection of Sacred Music, Boston, 1821. The melody is in the tenor part, second from the bottom.
