Dear friends farewell, I go to dwell
With Jesus Christ on high:
There for to sing praise to my King
To all eternity.
Weep not for me, for here you see
My trials have been great;
But now (‘tis true) I bid adieu,
And change my mournful state.
‘Twill not be long before the throng
Will all together be;
And you that know the Lord below,
Shall then your Saviour see.
There we shall join in songs divine,
God’s holy name shall praise;
And view Christ’s smile’s, forget the toils
Of these few evil days.
There we shall stand at his right hand
And in his presence dwell;
And him adore for evermore;
So, brethren, now farewell.
