Lyics

Farewell, vain world, I'm going home,

My Saviour smiles and bids me come,

Bright angels beckon me away,

To sing God's praise in endless day.



And when to that bright world I fly,

And join the anthems in the sky;

O then my happy soul shall tell,

My Jesus has done all things well.



I hope to meet my brethren there,

Who once did join with me in prayer,

Our mourning time will then be o'er,

***



***stanza 4



There I shall see my glorious God,

And triumph in his blest above,

My theme, thro' all eternity,

Shall glory, glory, glory, be.
