Lyics

Farewell, Farewell, Farewell, dear friends,
I must be gone, I have no home or stay with you;
I'll take my staff and travel on
Till I a better 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.
Farewell, Farewell, 
Farewell, my loving friends, Farewell.


Farewell, my friends, time rolls along,
Nor waits for mortals' care or bliss;
I leave you're 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.
