No. 160 Glad News or We’ll Land on Shore, Soc 18

Hexatonic, mode 3 A (I II III — V VI VII)

Come, Thou fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.

And we’ll land on shore,
Yes, we’ll land on shore,
And we’ll land on shore
And be safe for evermore.

A variant of the above text and tune is ‘when we pass over Jordan’, Mason’s Harp of the South, p. 295.
