Hexatonic, mode 4 a (I II -- IV V 6 7)

[Music]

Jesus, my all, to heav'n is gone,

O hallelujah;

He whom I fix my hopes upon,

O hallelujah.

And it won't be long,

Nor it can't be long,

O halle, hallelujah,

And it won't be long till Christ will come,

O hallelujah.

The compiler of the _Social Harp_, John G. McCurry, claims the song

and dates it 1847. We know the words as those of John Cennick.

Additional stanzas are given under 'River of Jordan'.
