Wow - it's almost the same song. the one I know goes

Brothers now our meeting is over
Brothers we must part
And if we should never meet again
I'll keep you in my heart

And we'll stand by the shore
And we'll stand by the shore
And we'll stand by the shore
And be safe forever more

I heard The Fagans (from Australia) sing it, and I've arranged for four parts for a choir I teach. At the time I arranged it, I read about the Shakers on their website (which I no longer have the link to).

It's a lovely song, and a great way to finish a rehearsal or any kind of gathering.
