347t Christian’s Farewell

Words: Lloyd’s Primitive Hymns, 1841

Music: Raymond C. Hamrick, 1989

Meter: Particular Meter

Copyright: 1991 Sacred Harp Publishing Company

Brethren, farewell, I do you tell,
I’m sorry to leave, I love you so well.
Now I must go, where I don’t know,
Wherever Christ leads me
The trumpet to blow.

Here I have worked, labored awhile,
But labor is sweet if Jesus doth smile.
When I am done, I will go home
Where Jesus is smiling
And bids me to come.
