Hymn/Song Information

Brethren I bid you all farewell

Brethren, I bid you all farewell,
And from my very heart,
Affectionately I do tell
That you and I must part.

And if I see you not again,
I trust that I can say,
My labor shall not be in vain,
That I have spent this day.

I trust I can to record call
All you that hear me now;
I have declared God's counsel all,
As he did me endow.

I now depart, I leave you here,
I leave you with the Lord;
And may we all henceforth appear,
And be of one accord.

And if we part to meet no more,
While we on earth remain,
O may we meet on Canaan's shore,
And never part again.

There we shall join to sing God's praise,
And al his wonders tell,
And triumph in His holy ways;
So, brethren, fare you well.
