Analysis. — This is a praise-song melody. It is minor in tonality 

 and laclcs the seventh and second tones of the complete octave. 

 Two accidentals occur, the sixth and third raised a semitone, both 

 of which are clearly given in the two recorded renditions of the song. 

 The intonation was good throughout the renditions, the semitone 

 progression, which appears six times, being well given. The tonic 

 chord is prominent in the formation of the melody, though the 

 accented tones are such that the song is classified as melodic in 

 structure.
