Then will he own my worthless name,
Before his Father’s face,
And in the new Jerusalem
Appoint my soul a place.
The words are attributed to Isaac Watts; the tune to B. F. White of Georgia, and dated 1844. The tune is a member of the ‘Babe of Bethlehem’ group. See Introduction, [p. 14], and, ‘[Babe of Bethlehem]’ in this collection. A secular related tune is ‘Lowlands of Holland’, Sharp, i., 200. Since the tune has clear dorian implications, its proper key signature is one flat.
