Dear friends, farewell, I do you tell

Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #14 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Dear friends, farewell, I do you tell, Since you and I must part; I go away, and here you stay, But still we're joined in heart. Your love to me has been most free, Your conversation sweet; How can I bear to journey where With you I cannot meet! 2. Yet do I find my heart inclined To do my work below: When Christ doth call, I trust I shall Be ready then to go. I leave you all, both great and small, In Christ's encircling arms, Who can you save from the cold grave, And shield you from all harm. 3. I trust you'll pray, both night and day, And keep your garments white, For you and me, that we may be The children of the light. If you die first, anon you must, The will of God be done I hope the Lord will you reward, With an immortal crown. 4. If I'm called home whilst I am gone, Indulge no tears for me; I hope to sing and praise my King, To all eternity. Millions of years over the spheres Shall pass in sweet repose, While beauty bright unto my sight Thy sacred sweets disclose. 5. I long to go, then farewell woe, My soul will be at rest; No more shall I complain or sigh, But taste the heavenly feast. O may we meet, and be complete, And long together dwell, And serve the Lord with one accord And so, dear friends, farewell. Languages: English Tune Title: MINISTER'S FAREWELL

Anonymous

Person Name: Unknown Author of "Dear friends, farewell, I do you tell" in African Methodist Episcopal hymn and tune book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
