"For
where
your
treasure
is,
there
will
your
heart
be
also.---Matt.
6:21.
Key
of

Major.

Kay,
1855.
There
is
a
place
where
my
hopes
are
stay'd,
My
heart
and
my
treasures
are
there;
Where
virtue
and
blessings
never
fade,
And
fields
are
e-ternal-ly
fair.

There
is
no
trace
given
in
any
of
the
books
as
to
the
authorship
of
the
above
tune
or
words,
so
far
as
we
have
been
able
to
find
except
as
above,
There
is
quite
a
similarity
between
this
tune
and
some
melodies
in
two
or
three
of
the
old
books
from
which
the
outlines
are
taken.
It
was
placed
in
the
Sacred
Harp's
fourth
edition
in
1869.
The
words
no
doubt
are
fragments
of
some
published
hymn,
but
so
changcd
as
to
make
it
difficult
to
find
the
source
from
whence
it
came.
