Heptatonic aeolian, mode 2 A + b (I II 3 IV V 6 7)

[Music]

Peace, troubled soul, thou need not fear,

Jesus says he will be with you to the end.

The great provider still is near,

Jesus says he will be with you to the end.

_Chorus_

Hallelujah, hallelujah,

And he's promised to be with you to the end.

The Lord who built the earth and sky,

In mercy stoops to hear our cry;

His promise all may truly claim,

Ask and receive in Jesus' name.

The tune from the start to the chorus is practically the same as the

chorus tune in 'With Us to the End' in this collection. It is claimed

by S. M. Denson and dated 1908. Mr. Denson recorded many revival

tunes. For data as to his life see _White Spirituals_, 107ff. He died

1936. See 'Cruel Mother', Sharp, i., 61, tune K, for melodic

similarities.
