Pilgrim’s Farewell

Lyrics

Farewell, my friends, I must be gone,
I have no home or stay with you;
I’ll take my staff and travel on
’Till I a better world can view.

Chorus:

I’ll march to Canaan’s land,
I’ll land on Canaan’s shore.
Where pleasures never end,
And troubles come no more.
Farewell, my loving friends, farewell.

Farewell, my friends, time rolls along,
Nor waits for mortal care or bliss;
I’ll leave you here and travel on,
’Till I arrive where Jesus is.

(Chorus)
