Kindred, and friends, and native land,
How shall we say farewell?
How, when our swelling sails expand,
How will our bosoms swell!
Yes, nature, all thy soft delights,
And tender ties we know;
But love, more strong than death, unites
To Him that bids us go.
Thus, when our ev'ry passion mov'd,
The gushing tear-drop starts;
The cause of Jesus more belov'd,
Shall glow within our hearts.
The sighs we breathe for precious souls,
Where He is yet unknown.
Might waft us to the distant poles.
Or to the burning zone.
With the warm wish our bosoms swell.
Our glowing pow'rs expand;
Farewell,—then we can say,—Farewell,
Our friends, our native land!
