Subject: ADD: Parting Friends (Sacred Harp)
One of the nicest Sacred Harp parting songs is this:
PARTING FRIENDS
Farewell, my friends, I'm bound for Canaan, I'm trav'ling 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.
