Farewell, My Friends, Since We Must Part

Farewell

my friends

since we must part

The se­pa­ra­tion grieves my heart;

The Mas­ter do­eth all things well

And yet I grieve to say fare­well.

This is my pray­er to God most high

That we may ga­ther by and by

Around the throne where an­gels dwell;

But for a while fare­well

fare­well

Farewell

fare­well.

But peace

my soul! that pain­ful word

Shall cease to pierce as with a sword

When an­gels come the news to tell

That we may bid all grief fare­well.

Till then

let’s hope and trust and pray

And wait

and watch for that sweet day

When we’ll go home

with Christ to dwell

Where friends no more shall say fare­well.
