One verse was not written by John Walker but was introduced to the public by Harriet Beecher Stowe in Uncle Tom's Cabin. The verse had been passed down by oral tradition in slave communities.
That verse?
When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
Than when we first begun.
