557 New Farewell

Words: The Southern Harmony, 1835

Music: The Southern Harmony, 1835. Alto The Hesperian Harp, 1848

Meter: 8s & 7s D.

Farewell, my loving friends, farewell!
We must be separated,
In diff’rent regions we must dwell,
Distantly situated.
O let not this our friendship chill,
Though mountains rise between us;
May truth and justice guide our will,
And God from evil screen us.
