Farewell, My Brethren (Imandra New) 54b

Tune: Southern Harmony, 1835
Alto: Wilson Marion Cooper, 1902
Lyrics: Thomas Cleland, 1807
Meter: 11s (11,11,11,11)
Farewell, my dear brethren, the time is at hand
When we must be parted from this social band;
Our several engagements now call us away,
Our parting is needful, and we must obey.

Farewell, my dear brethren, farewell for awhile.
We’ll soon meet again if kind Providence smile;
But while we are parted and scatter’d abroad
We’ll pray for each other and trust in the Lord.
