THE SHIP OF ZION.

_( Third version.)_ "De Gospel ship is sailin', Hosann--sann.
O, Jesus is de captain, Hosann--sann.
De angels are de sailors, Hosann--sann.
O, is your bundle ready?
Hosann--sann.
O, have you got your ticket?
Hosann--sann." This abbreviated chorus is given with unspeakable unction.
The three just given are modifications of an old camp-meeting melody; and the same may be true of the three following, although I cannot find them in the Methodist hymn-books.

Each, however, has its characteristic modifications, which make it well worth giving.

In the second verse of this next, for instance, "Saviour" evidently has become "soldier." XXXI.

SWEET MUSIC "Sweet music in heaven, Just beginning for to roll.
Don't you love God?
Glory, hallelujah! "Yes, late I heard my soldier say, Come, heavy soul, I am de way.
Don't you love God?
Glory, hallelujah! "I'll go and tell to sinners round What a kind Saviour I have found.
Don't you love God?
Glory, hallelujah! "My grief my burden long has been, Because I was not cease from sin.
Don't you love God?
Glory, hallelujahl" XXXII.
