[Farewell! vain world, I'm going home]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

1.

Farewell! vain world, I'm going home,
Where there's no more stormy clouds arising;
My Saviour smiles, and bids me come
Where there's no more stormy clouds arising.
To the land, to the land, to the land I am bound,
Where there's no more stormy clouds arising.

2.

Sweet angels beckon me away,
Where there's no more stormy clouds arising;
To sing God's praise in endless day,
Where there's no more stormy clouds arising.
To the land, to the land, to the land I am bound,
Where there's no more stormy clouds arising
