I poked around in the AAS catalog & found 2 broadsides with the words. The first one should be available in some large university libraries as part of the microcard or microfiche collection Early American imprints, first series, you need the Evans number I've supplied. (This collection is being released electronically & may be found in some very large universities called Evans Digital Edition. It will be 1.5 years until the whole thing is out there & the cost to institutions is @$50,000.)

On the death of General Washington. Commander in chief of the combined forces of America and France, during the Revolutionary War, and afterwards president of the United States of America--who died December 14th, 1799. Evans 38157
Notes: In verse; first line: What solemn sounds the ear invade.
Followed by The Christian's song by a lady; first line: My soul's full of glory which fires my tongue; and Love to Christ; first line: O Jesus my Saviour, to thee I submit.

The Christian's song / written by a young lady ; together with a hymn called Love to Christ. Love to Christ, first line: O Jesus my Savior, to thee I submit. (not on microform)

Richard Allen published 2 books in 1801, that look like possibilities. Microcards & Microfiche of these books have been produced & are available in a collection called Early American imprints.; Second series. I suspect that more libraries have the 1st series than the 2nd or both. You'll need the number I've provided with each.
