⤢ Full screenMillennial 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.
Hail you! and where did you come from? Hallelujah!
Oh, I'm come from the land of Egypt! Hallelujah!
Hail you! and where are you bound for? Hallelujah!
Hail you ! and where are you bound for? Hallelujah!
Oh, I'm bound for the land of Canaan, Hallelujah!
Oh, I'm bound for the land of Canaan, Hallelujah!
Hail you! and what is your cargo?, &c.
Oh, religion is my cargo, &c.
Hail you! and what is your compass?, &c.
Oh, the Bible is my compass, &c.
Hail you! and who is your pilot?, &c.
Oh! God's Spirit is my pilot, &c.
Hail you! and who is your Captain?, &c.
Oh, King Jesus is my Captain, &c.
Hail you! and where is your harbor?, &c.
Oh, God's kingdom is my harbor, &c.
