 '''No. 39. Save me, Lord, Save.'''

1. I called to my father, my father hearkened to me, And the last word I heard him say, was, Save me, Lord, save me.

And I wish that heav'n was a mine, And I hope that heav'n will a be mine, And I wish that heav'n was a mine, O save me, Lord, save me.

2. I called to my mother, my mother hearkened to me, And the last word I heard her say Was, Save me, Lord, save me, Cho.—And I wish that heav'n was a mine, &c.

3. I called to my sister, my sister hearkened to me, &c. Cho.—And I wish that heav'n was a mine, &c.

4. I called to my brother, my brother hearkened to me, &c. Cho.—And I wish that heav'n was a mine, &c.
