Walden Origins: Polly Wolly Doodle (78* d) RE: Origins: Who wrote Polly Wolly Doodle 14 Nov 05


I transcribed this tune from an old paperback gospel hymnal from around the Turn of the Century. It had no attribution but arranged by F. M. G. This may be F. M. Graham, but I don't know.

Either way, the chorus is the well-known chorus "By and By We'll See the King" (AKA "Oh the Blood of Jesus"), and the verses are the widely popular hymn by Edward Perronet, "All Hail the Power," set to the same tune as Polly Wolly Doodle.

1. All hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.

CHORUS: By and by we'll see (surely see) the King,
By and by we'll see (surely see) the King,
By and by we'll see (surely see) the King,
And crown Him Lord of all.

2. Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all.

3. O that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall!
We'll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all.
