[Music]
Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sov'reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I.
_Chorus_
I want my friends to go with me,
I want my friends to go with me,
I want my friends to go with me
To the new Jerusalem.
I wonder, Lord, shall I ever get to heaven,
The new Jerusalem.
William Hauser included the above tune, with different text, in his
_Olive Leaf_. Of the above chorus, "sometimes sung after each verse,"
he says: "Not worth while to criticise this chorus. Does anybody
criticise a camel? No; they take him for his usefulness".
