LyicsFare-well! Fare-well! Farewell, dear friends,
I must be gone,
I have no home or stay with you;
I'll take my staff and trav-el on
Till I a bet-ter world do view.
I'll march to Canaan's land,
I'll land on Canaan's shore.
Where pleasures never end,
Where troubles come no more.
Fare-well! Fare-well! Fare-well, my loving friends, Farewell.
Farewell, my friends, time rolls along,
Nor waits for mortals' care or bliss;
I leave you here, and travel on
Till I arrive where Jesus is.
I'll march, &c.
Farewell, old soldiers of the cross,
You've struggled long and hard for heaven;
You've counted all things here but dross,
Fight on, the crown will soon be given.
I'll march, &c.
Fight on, &c.
