My friends, I am going a long and tedious journey

Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My friends, I am going a long and tedious journey, Never to return; I am going a long journey, never to return. I am going a long journey, Never to return. (Repeat previous line). 215 Never to return, never to return, never to return; Never, never never, never, to return; Fare you well, my friends. (Repeat previous line twice), And God grant we may meet together in that world above, Where trouble shall cease and harmony shall abound, 216 Hark! hark! my dear friends, for death hath called me, And I must go, and lie down in the cold and silent grave, Where the mourners cease from mourning, and the prisoner is set free; Where the rich and poor are both alike; Fare you well, fare you well, fare you well, fare you well, Fare you well, my friends. The Southern Harmony

Author of "My friends, I am going a long and tedious journey" in The Sacred Harp 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.

Jacob French

1754 - 1817 Composer of "FAREWELL ANTHEM" in The Sacred Harp
