O brother, be faithful,
O brother, be faithful,
O brother, be faithful, faithful, faithful,
Till we all arrive at home.
Further stanzas are constructed on: O sister, be faithful; There we
shall see Jesus; There we shall shout glory; There'll be no more
parting; etc.
Miss Gilchrist found the above song in the _Wesleyan Psalmist_ (1842);
see JFSS, viii., 67. In Flanders and Brown's _Vermont Songs and
Ballads_ the song (dating from 1831) entitled 'The Gospel Ship' has a
chorus text which is identical with the above. A negro version of both
tune and words is in _Slave Songs_, No. 71.
