'Tis A Gift To Be Simple is a traditional hymn from the Shaker movement, a utopian group that began in the late 18th century shortly after Ann Lee emigrated to New York from England. The group was a branch from the Quakers that formed in the middle 18th century in England. Lots of information is available about the Shakers. Robert Sowell
