1 Farewell! farewell! farewell!
O loved one, long farewell!
Thy heart is chilled in death,
Gone is thy fleeting breath,
Thine arms all pow'rless lie,
And closed thy beaming eye.
Alas, beloved, Thou'rt gone,
Death claims thee for his own!
Farewell! farewell! farewell!
Farewell! farewell! farewell!
2 Farewell! farewell! farewell!
Brother in grace, farewell!
Thy work of life is o'er,
Thou'rt gone to yonder shore,
Passed on the solemn bourne,
Whence none e'er more return,
Land where the pris'ners rest,
Where troubles all have ceas'd;
Farewell! farewell! farewell!
Farewell! farewell! farewell!
3 Farewell! farewell! farewell!
But only short farewell!
We're all for Death's land bound,
Others will soon come 'round,
And bid us sad farewell!
How soon there's none can tell!
Belov'd, we'll meet thee soon!
We're passing one by one;
O then a short farewell!
O then a short farewell!
