521 Parting Friends (Third)

Words: Primitive Hymns, 1858

Music: R. A. Conant, 1959

Meter: Common Meter Double (8,6,8,6,8,6,8,6)

Our cheerful voices let us raise,
And sing a parting song;
Although I’m with you now, my friends,
I can’t be with you long.
For I must go and leave you all;
It fills my heart with pain;
Although we part, perhaps in tears,
I hope we’ll meet again.
