The song was debuted by Mason on July 4, 1831, at a children's service at the Park Street Church in Boston, Massachusetts." America https://www.loc.gov/item/amss.cw100120 Library of Congress

The melody used is the same as that of the national anthem of the United Kingdom, "God Save the Queen". The song served as one of the de facto national anthems of the United States (along with songs like "Hail, Columbia") before the adoption of "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the official U.S. national anthem in 1931.
