Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Use of the Latter Day Saints, 1844
1. Yes, my native land, I love thee,
All thy scenes I love them well,
Friends, connexions happy country!
Can I bid you all farewell!
Can I leave thee, can I leave thee -
Far in distant lands to dwell?
2. Home! thy joys are passing lovely;
Joys no strangerheart can tell!
Happy home! 'tis sure I love thee!
Can I - can I say, farewell?
Can I leave thee, can I leave thee -
Far in distant lands to dwell?
3. Holy scenes of joy and gladness,
Ev'ry fond emotion swell,
Can I banish heartfelt sadness
While I bid my home farewell?
Can I leave thee, can I leave thee -
Far in distant lands to dwell?
4. Yes! I hasten from you gladly,
From the scenes I love so well!
Far away, ye billows, bear me:
Lovely, native land, farewell!
Pleased I leave thee, pleased I leave thee -
Far in distant lands to dwell.
5. In the deserts let me labor,
On the mountains let me tell,
How he died - the blessed Savior -
To redeem a world from hell!
Let me hasten, let me hasten -
Far in distant lands to dwell.
6. Bear me on, thou restless ocean;
Let the winds my canvass swell;
Heaves my heart with warm emotion,
While I go far hence to dwell,
Glad I bid thee, glad I bid thee -
Native land, Farewell, Farewell.
Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Europe, 1840
Hymn 215 P.M. 1. Yes, my native land, I love thee, All thy scenes I love them well - Friends, connexions, happy country, Can I bid you all farewell? Can I leave thee, Far in distant lands to dwell? 2. Home! thy joys are passing lovely; Joys no stranger heart can tell; Happy home! 'tis sure I love thee, Can I - can I say Farewell? Can I leave thee, Far in distant lands to dwell? 3. Holy scenes of joy and gladness Every fond emotion swell; Can I banish heartfelt sadness While I bid my home farewell? Can I leave thee, Far in distant lands to dwell? 4. Yes! I hasten from you gladly, From the scenes I love so well, Far away, ye billows, bear me, Lovely, native land - farewell! Pleased I leave thee, Far in distant lands to dwell. 5. In the deserts let me labour, On the mountains let me tell How he died - the blessed Saviour - To redeem a world from hell! Let me hasten Far in distant lands to dwell. 6. Bear me on, thou restless ocean; Let the winds my canvass swell; Heaves my heart with warm emotion, While I go far hence to dwell. Glad I bid thee, Native land, Farewell, farewell!
