[Music]
Jesus, my all, to heav'n is gone,
I want to go to glory;
He whom I fix my hopes upon,
I want to go to glory.
I want to go, I want to go,
I want to go to glory;
We've so many trials here below,
They say there are none in glory.
The full text, by Samuel Medley (1738-1799), may be found under 'River
of Jordan' in this collection. The _Southern and Western Pocket
Harmonist_ gives this tune "as sung by Rev. M. L. Little". An old
Irish song in Petrie, No. 1164, shows noteworthy similarities. See
also 'I Want a Seat in Paradise', in this collection, for further tune
relationships.
