Lyrics: Baltimore Collection, 1801
Meter: Long Meter Half (8,8)
Farewell! vain world, I'm going home,
Where there's no more stormy clouds to rise.
My Savior smiles, and bids me come,
Where there's no more stormy clouds to rise.

Chorus:

To the land, To the land I am bound,
Where there's no more stormy clouds to rise.

Sweet angels becon me away,
Where there's no more stormy clouds to rise.
To sing God's praise in endless day,
Where there's no more stormy clouds to rise.

(Chorus)
