The Little Seraph ‎#102a

102a. Parting song

1 Brothers, clasp hands, the brief moments are flying;
Here upon earth but as pilgrims we dwell;
Gladly we met, yet me part without sighing,
Looking beyond the fraternal farewell.

Chorus:
In his dear name, the all loving, All seeing,
Hand clasp'd in hand for him brothers farewell.
