Original text and translations

English.png English text

1. Farewell, my friends, I must be gone,
I have no home or stay with you;
I'll take my staff and travel on,
Till I a better world can view.

2. Farewell, my friends, time rolls along,
Nor waits for mortal cares or bliss:
I'll leave you here and travel on,
Till I arrive where Jesus is.

 

3. Farewell, my brethren in the Lord.
To you I'm bound with cords of love:
If we believe his gracious word,
We all ere long shall meet above.

4. Farewell, ye blooming sons of God,
Sore conflicts yet remain for you;
But dauntless keep the heavenly road,
Till Canaan's fertile land you view.

 

5. Farewell, old soldiers of the cross,
You've struggled long and hard for heaven;
You've counted all things here but loss –
Fight on, the crown will soon be given.

6. Farewell, poor graceless sinners too,
It grieves my heart to leave you here!
Eternal vengeance waits for you,
O turn and see salvation near!
