Farewell, Vain World

Lyrics

Farewell, vain world, I’m going home,
I can’t stay away;
My Savior smiles and bids me come,
I can’t stay away.

Chorus:

I cannot stay much longer here,
I can’t stay away,
For the gospel ship is passing by,
I can’t stay away.

Sweet angels beckon me away,
I can’t stay away;
To sing God’s praise in endless day,
I can’t stay away.

(Chorus)

Oh who will come and go with me,
I can’t stay away;
I’m bound fair Canaan’s land to see,
I can’t stay away.

(Chorus)

My heav’nly home is bright and fair,
I can’t stay away.
No pain nor death can enter there,
I can’t stay away.

(Chorus)
