About this hymn

As printed Millennial Harp (1843), Part II, printed p. 39 (PDF 115). One staff, treble clef, A major; the print gives **no time signature**. The tune is printed as two strains on two separate single-staff systems, the first headed **Male Voice.**, the second **Female Voice.** — a hailing dialogue between two ships. Each strain closes with a repeat (`:‖`). The stanzas printed below the music repeat each line twice, so each strain is sung twice before the next.
