Benjamin F. White (b. Spartanburg, SC, 1800; d. Atlanta, GA, 1879), was coeditor of The Sacred Harp (1844). He came from a family of fourteen children and was largely self-taught. Eventually White became a popular singing-school teacher and editor of the weekly Harris County newspaper.

In those days came John the Baptist
Preaching in the wilderness of Judea;
And saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
The kingdom of heaven is at hand;
The kingdom of heaven is at hand,
The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The kingdom of heaven is at hand,
