288 Long Time Traveller

p.288

Tune: White, Dobell's New Selection, 1810

Text: Edmund Dumas, 1856

Ye fleeting charms of earth farewell,
Your springs of joy are dry
My soul now seeks another home
A brighter world on high

 I'm a long time traveling here below
I'm a long time traveling away from home
I'm a long time traveling​ here below
To lay this body down

Farewell kind friends whose tender care
Has long engaged my love
Your fond embrace I now exchange
For better friends above

 I'm a long time travelling here below
I'm a long time travelling away from home
I'm a long time travelling here below
To lay this body down...
