Lyrics
Live peacefully! Said Christ, the Lord,
Unto His own elected.
My brethren dear, O heed His Word
As those with God connected.
To you I tell
As my farewell,
In concord ne'er to waver;
Though I depart,
Yet in my heart
I'm bound to you forever.
A pain of heart possesses me,
I sigh with deep affection.
Because the Lord has thus decreed
My sojourn's termination.
My deep distress I must confess
At this our parting sudden.
Though I depart,
Yet in my heart
You ne'er shall be forgotten.
A Christian manner ever show,
As you have been instructed;
On firm foundation you must grow,
On Christ's way be conducted.
My brethren, see,
This is my plea
In parting on the morrow.
Though we must part,
Here stays my heart,
Shares with you joy and sorrow.
We've lived in peace together here,
As all can see most clearly;
We've lived as Christians who would bear
The Saviour's name sincerely,
E'en as all do
Whose faith is true;
And hence I leave with sadness.
Though I depart,
You have my heart.
I think of you with gladness.
My loving friends, full many a tear
Have I shed for you, weeping;
This has been done in love sincere
While I my watch was keeping.
For night and day
My heart did pray:
"God keep you ev'ry hour!"
Though I depart,
You have my heart
That you with love will shower.
Ye fathers, strive with courage bold,
In sowing and in reaping;
With watchful care attend the fold
That God puts in your keeping.
Then Christ the Lord
As your reward
The crown of life will render.
Although we part,
Yet shall my heart
In love to you surrender.
Ye children, in submission yield
Due rev'rence to the fathers.
Through love and peace shall be revealed
How good fruits you may gather.
Each heart increase
In perfect peace
And joy in Christ the Saviour;
Though now we part,
Yet pleads my heart:
Learn wisdom, truth and favor!
Praised be the Lord who gives us strength,
Who leads and gives direction.
My brethren, when you kneel in pray'r,
For me make intercession.
'Twill not be vain;
Pray'r as a chain
Binds us in God together,
And when we part,
Unites each heart
In Jesus' name forever.
Unto His own elected.
My brethren dear, O heed His Word
As those with God connected.
To you I tell
As my farewell,
In concord ne'er to waver;
Though I depart,
Yet in my heart
I'm bound to you forever.
A pain of heart possesses me,
I sigh with deep affection.
Because the Lord has thus decreed
My sojourn's termination.
My deep distress I must confess
At this our parting sudden.
Though I depart,
Yet in my heart
You ne'er shall be forgotten.
A Christian manner ever show,
As you have been instructed;
On firm foundation you must grow,
On Christ's way be conducted.
My brethren, see,
This is my plea
In parting on the morrow.
Though we must part,
Here stays my heart,
Shares with you joy and sorrow.
We've lived in peace together here,
As all can see most clearly;

The Saviour's name sincerely,
E'en as all do

And hence I leave with sadness.
Though I depart,
You have my heart.

My loving friends, full many a tear
Have I shed for you, weeping;
This has been done in love sincere

Binds us in God together,
And when we part,
Unites each heart
In Jesus' name forever.
