About this hymn

As printed As printed: hymn number «1189» (large), tune name «WISH YOU WELL.» centred (capitals and small capitals), «ARRANGED.» at the right, no meter, no author's signature. Stanza 1 is interlinear, in one line under the single system, «1.» before «My»; it is given below in four verse lines. The first word is printed «My.» — a period-sized dot after «My» (the second «My» and «When», sung to the same two-note figure, have none); kept as printed (see uncertainties.md). Stanzas 2–5 are printed in two columns as one line each, ending «etc.», numbered «2»–«5» without a period (written «2.»–«5.» here). The print sets a thin space before «;» («well ;»); it is closed up here. Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's.
