Tune: lpile ti Jesu fi le le l’eyi P.M
1. OUR life span is all but seventy years
Like the hirelings day
Just like flowery weeds, we shall be
hewned down
And we shall thus pass on.
Chorus: Goodbye, goodbye, dear beloved
Goodbye, goodbye, dear beloved
Goodbye, till the resurrection day.
2. Though the grass is dead, it lives no more
Thou art dead yet to live
And thou shall adorn unfading crown
At the bossom of the Saviour.
Chorus: Goodbye, goodbye...
3. ln fellowship we are, previous months
Lo! You are no more now
Our dear beloved not in a sojourn
But transiting by death.
Chorus: Goodbye, goodbye...
4. May we be tutored by this instance
To amend our characters
Sapped tree may erect, while
flourishing one
May yet be hewned down soon.
Chorus: Goodbye, goodbye...
5. Our testimonies, is our deeds on earth
Revealing how we end
Beloved thy good works transit with thee
Thine best thou hath done on earth.
Chorus: Goodbye, goodbye...
6. We condole with thee, family and Band
Of our departed one,
We shall fellowship in heaven above
On the resurrection day.
Chorus: Goodbye, goodbye, dear beloved
Goodbye, goodbye, dear beloved
Goodbye, till the resurrection day. Amen
