1. The time is swiftly rolling on, | |||
When I must faint and die, | |||
My body to the dust return, | |||
And there forgotten lie. | |||
2. Let persecution rage around, | |||
And Antichrist appear. | |||
My silent dust beneath the ground; | |||
There’s no disturbance there. | |||
3. Through heats and colds I've often went, | |||
And wandered in despair, | |||
To call poor sinners to repent. | |||
And seek the Savior dear.}} | |||

4. My brother preachers boldly speak, | |||
And stand on Zion’s wall, | |||
To revive the strong confirm the weak, | |||
And after sinners call. | |||
5. My brother preachers, fare you well, | |||
Your fellowship I love, | |||
In time no more I shall you see | |||
But soon we’ll meet above. | |||
6. My little children near my heart, | |||
And nature seems to bind. | |||
It grieves me sorely to depart | |||
And leave you all behind.}} | |||

7. O Lord a father to them be. | |||
And keep them from all harm. | |||
That they may love and worship thee | |||
And dwell upon thy charms. | |||
8. My loving wife, my bosom friend, | |||
The object of my love, | |||
The time’s been sweet, I've spent with you, | |||
My sweet and harmless dove. | |||
9. My loving wife, don't grieve for me, | |||
Neither lament nor mourn; | |||
For I shall with my Jesus be. | |||
When you are left alone.}} | |||

10. How often you have looked for me, | |||
And oft times seen me come; | |||
But now I must depart from thee | |||
And never more return. | |||
11. For I can never come to thee, | |||
Let this not grieve your heart, | |||
For you will shortly come to me, | |||
Where we shall never part.}} | |||
