3/4 time. Can be played with a more 6/8 feel. Originally in the key of Bb.
Moderate speed. Optional ending added.  I tend to hold out the spaces in the
middle of each line.  Gives each partial section more emphasis I suppose.
  
From the 1922 "Pilot Me" Hymnal Song #1.  Also in the 1940 Broadman #158.
