Hymn Context Compare
Our days are soon num­bered, and death sounds our knell;
The Mas­ter do­eth all things well,
Thine own sweet mu­sic says,
There se­pa­ra­tions can’t com­pel
Friends, con­nect­ions, hap­py coun­try!
Let me go, I must ob­ey;
Let me go, I must ob­ey;
And look­ing o’er those rich­est stores,
What else has earth for us in store?
What then?
There with loved ones we shall dwell,
There is rest in the Lord,
For His en­emies all shall be un­der His feet.
To man­sions in the skies,
Peace to us the Church doth tell,
Night be turned to day;
Soon we pass this des­ert drea­ry,
When we come to Ed­en’s bloom­ing fields,
When we come to Ed­en’s bloom­ing fields,
And after that the dark!

fare­well

I’ll bid you fare­well, I’ll bid you fare­well;
This is my pray­er to God most high,
Thou hast as­cend­ed,
On earth, when friends to­ge­ther meet,
Can I leave you—can I leave you,
Hark! I hear the Mas­ter say,
Hark! I hear the Mas­ter say,
O sac­red home, how sweet thou art,
Our fare­well words, how sad and sore!
To a world loved too well,
In that ci­ty just across death’s stor­my sea.
Close your eyes to world­ly joys,
Farewell to its plea­sures, fare­well to its mirth;
And wipe my weep­ing eyes.
Peace was our bap­tis­mal dow­er,
Tears be wiped away.
Never more be sad or wea­ry,
We’ll to Je­sus ren­der glad­some praise
We’ll to Je­sus ren­der glad­some praise
When I em­bark.
