Re: Traditional music from the film Gettysburg?

Robert,

I believe the song is "Rock of Ages", an OLD spiritual that is still sung even today. If you ever watch "Little House on the Prairie", it seemed like every time they did a church scene they would sing that song. Below is a link to some of the history of the song.
