LyicsFAREWELL, my friends, time rolls along,
Nor waits for mortal care or bliss;
I leave you here to travel on,
Till I arrive where Jesus is.
Farewell, my brethren in the Lord,
To you I'm bound in cords of love,
Yet we believe his gracious word,
That we shall soon all meet above.
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 shall soon be given.
Farewell, poor careless sinners too,
It grieves my soul to leave you here,
Eternal sorrow waits for you,
O turn and find salvation near.
CHORUS.
Farewell, farewell, farewell,
My christian friends, farewell.
