In his name I notice give, all who come he will receive.
Be persuaded, take his pay, all your sins he’ll wash away;
Now in Jesus’ name believe; future happiness he’ll give.
(last chorus)
Yes! in heaven you sure will be praising God eternally. (repeat)
For a related chorus text see ‘[O Ye Young and Gay and Proud]’ in this collection. The tune, claimed by William Walker, is keyed in the natural minor (aeolian) of a. I suggest the signature of one sharp, bringing the tune into the dorian mode, as more natural.
No. 42
[FEMALE CONVICT], SOH (1835) 160
Heptatonic aeolian, mode 4 a + b (I II 3 IV V 6 7)
