No. 198 Save Mighty Lord, Osh 70

Pentatonic, mode 2 (I — 3 IV V — 7)

Jesus, my all, to heav’n is gone,
Save, mighty Lord;
He whom I fix my hopes upon,
Save, mighty Lord.

O save, save, mighty Lord,
And send converting power down,
Save, mighty Lord.

Further stanzas of the John Cennick text are given under ‘River of Jordan’. The tune is attributed, in the Social Harp, p. 99, to J. A. and J. F. Wade.
