AREWELL to thee, brother! [you brethren] we meet but to part, And sorrow is struggling with joy in each heart; There is grief, but there's hope all its anguish to quell; The Master goes with thee [you]-farewel', oh! farewell! 2 Farewell! thou art [you are] leaving the home of thy [your] youth, The friends of thy [your] God, and the temples of truth, For the land where is heard no sweet sabbath bell; Yet the Master goes with thee [you]—farewell, 3 Farewell! for thou treadest [you are treading] the path that He trod, His God is thy [your] Father, His Father thy [your] God; And if ever with doubtings, thy [your] bosom shall swell, Remember He's with thee [you]-Farewell Oh ! farewell! 4 Farewell! and God speed thee [you] glad tidings to bear, To the desolate isles [lands] in their night of despair; On the sea, on the shore, all the promises tell, His wings shall enfold thee [you]-Farewell! Oh farewell! 5 Farewell! but in spirit we often shall meet, Though the ocean divides us, at one mercy-seat, And above ne'er to part, but for ever to dwell With the Master in glory-Farewell! Oh farewell. 7,6s. Double. 1033 Do my prophets no harm.—Psalm cv. 15.
