Lyr. Add: PARTING FRIENDS

1.
Farewell, my lovely friends, farewell,
We must be separated,
In different regions we must dwell,
Distantly situated.
O let this not our friendship chill,
Though mountains rise between us,
May truth and justice guide our will,
And God from evil screen us.

Southern Harmony No. 35b. Printed with score. Are there several versions of the lyrics, or is this a separate verse from the one posted by Joe?
