[Music]
Young people all attention give
And hear what I shall say;
I wish your souls with Christ to live,
In everlasting day.
I want you to go to that bright world,
To dwell with saints forever there.

text is to be found in _Zion Songster_. The tune is widely used among
the secular ballads. See 'Barbara Allen', Sharp, i., 183; 'Geordie',
Sharp, i., 240; 'False Young Man', Sharp, ii., 52; 'Lord Thomas and
Fair Eleanor', Smith, 115; 'True Lover's Farewell', Sharp, ii., 114;
'Lizzie Wan', Sharp, i., 89; and 'Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard',
