Hexatonic, mode 4 b (I II 3 IV V -- 7)

[Music]

There is a heav'n o'er yonder skies,

A heav'n where pleasure never dies,

A heav'n I sometimes hope to see,

But fear again 'tis not for me;

But Jesus, Jesus is my friend,

O, hallelujah, hallelujah,

Jesus, Jesus is my friend.

The chorus of the above tune has features similar to 'Jesus Is My

Friend (A)', in this collection. The whole tune seems to be a

degenerate offspring of 'Davisson's Retirement', in this collection.
