My brother, I wish you well,

Hymns designed for the use of the Second Advent Band (N. Stevens and H. B. Skinner, 1843), printed pp. 34–35 (PDF 38–39). Words only: the hymnal prints no music. Starts on p. 34 at the foot; the chorus and stanzas 2–8 are on p. 35, the last page of hymns. Eight unnumbered stanzas; the first is printed in full with the chorus, the others only as their first line + «&c.». The Millennial Harp (p. 47, «My Brother I wish you well.») prints it with music; differences: «When my Lord calls», «mention'd», «promis'd», no commas after the address.
