Parting Friends

(additional lyrics by Keith Murphy)

Farewell my friends I'm bound for Canaan
I'm travelling through the wilderness
Your company has been delightful
You who doth leave my mind distressed

I go away behind to leave you
Perhaps never to meet again
But if we never have the pleasure
I hope we'll meet on Canaan's land

I know dark clouds are hovering o'er me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beauteous fields lie just before me
Where the redeemed their vigil keep

And when my journey's finally over
When rest and peace upon me lie
High o'er the roads where once we travelled
Silently there my mind will fly
