    The authorship of “In My Time of Dying” is a bit complex:

    • The earliest recorded version is by Blind Willie Johnson in 1926, so he’s credited with creating the foundational version.
    • There’s evidence of similar themes in even older hymns, suggesting it stemmed from a folk tradition.
    • Reverend J.C. Burnett may have recorded a similar song slightly before Johnson, but it wasn’t released.
