Farewell, dear brethren of the Lord!
And I cannot tarry here;
Yet we believe his gracious word,
And I can not tarry here;

Chorus:

And I cannot tarry here,
And I cannot tarry here;
The gospel sounds the jubilee,
And I cannot tarry here.

Farewell to all below the sun,
And I cannot tarry here;
The path is straight my feet shall run,
And I cannot tarry here;

(Chorus)
