CAN I LEAVE YOU




Yes, my native land, I love thee,
All thy scenes I love them well,
Friends, connections, happy country,
Can I bid you all farewell?

|: Can I leave you,
Far in distant lands to dwell? :|




Home, thy joys are passing lovely,
Joys no stranger heart can tell;
Happy home indeed I love thee;
Can I, can I, say “Farewell?”

|: Can I leave you,
Far in distant lands to dwell? :|




Scenes of sacred
peace and pleasure,
Holy days and Sabbath bell,
Richest, brightest, sweetest treasure,
Can I say a last farewell?

|: Can I leave you,
Far in distant lands to dwell? :|




Yes! I hasten from you gladly,
From the scenes I love so well;
Far away, ye billows, bear me!
Lovely native land, farewell!

|: Pleased I leave thee,
Far in heathen lands to dwell. :|




In the deserts let me labor,
On the mountains let me tell,
How he died-the blessed Saviour-
To redeem a world from hell!

|: Let me hasten,
Far in heathen lands to dwell. :|
