THE GOLDEN HARP
Farewell! vain world, I'm going home
Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #313 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics:
1.
Farewell! vain world, I'm going home,
Where there's no more stormy clouds arising;
My Savior smiles, and bids me come
Where there's no more stormy clouds arising.
2.
Sweet angels beckon me away,
Where there's no more stormy clouds arising;
To sing God's praise in endless day,
Where there's no more stormy clouds arising.
To the land, to the land, to the land I am bound,
Where there's no more stormy clouds arising.

Farewell! vain world, I'm going home
Farewell, vain world, I'm going home
Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs #450 (1839) Lyrics: FAREWELL, vain world, I'm going home,
My Saviour smiles and bids me come;
Bright angels beckon me away,
To sing God's praise in endless day,
2 I am glad that I was born to die;
From grief and wo my soul shall fly;
Bright angels shall convey me home
Away to New Jerusalem.
3 And when to that bright world I fly
And join the mansions in the sky,
O then my happy soul shall tell
My Saviour has done all things well.
4 I hope to meet my brethren there,
Who oft have met with me in prayer;
Our mourning time will soon be o'er,
And we shall live to die no more.
5 I'll praise my God while I have breath;
I hope to praise him after death;
I hope to praise him while I die,
And shout salvation as I fly.
6 We soon shall hear the solemn sound—
“Awake you nations under ground;
Arise and drop your dying shrouds,
And meet King Jesus in the clouds.”
7 Then shall I see my glorious God;
And triumph in his blest abode;
My theme through all eternity
Shall glory, glory, glory, be. Languages: English

Farewell, Vain World
Hymnal: The Sacred Harp #95t (2012) First Line: Farewell, vain world, I'm going home Lyrics: 1. Farewell, vain world, I'm going home, I can't stay away; My Savior smiles and bids me come, I can't stay away. Chorus: I cannot stay much longer here, I can't stay away; For the gospel ship is passing by, I can't stay away. 2. Sweet angels beckon me away, I can't stay away; To sing God's praise in endless day, I can't stay away. 3. Oh, who will come and go with me, I can't stay away; I'm bound fair Canaan's land to see, I can't stay away. 4. My heav'nly home is bright and fair, I can't stay away. No pain nor death can enter there, I can't stay away. Tune Title: FAREWELL, VAIN WORLD
