In the far and heathen country[00:00:02]
Where the people know not God[00:00:04]
I'm going there to preach his precious word[00:00:07]
Where they bow to worship idols[00:00:12]
I'm going there to stay[00:00:14]
Where I'll labor in the vineyard of the lord[00:00:17]
I'll soon be with my loved ones[00:00:21]
In my happy heavenly home[00:00:24]
Even now the thought[00:00:26]
My soul with rapture thrills[00:00:28]
So goodbye my friends and brethren[00:00:30]
For the time has come to go[00:00:33]
I must leave you on the dear old battlefield[00:00:36]
I'm called to bear a message[00:00:40]
To the heathen far away[00:00:43]
And for years o'er there[00:00:45]
A stranger I may roam[00:00:47]
Just to tell them of a savior[00:00:49]
One who died to save them all[00:00:52]
That's the reason why[00:00:54]
I leave my native home[00:00:56]
I'll soon be with my loved ones[00:00:59]
In my happy heavenly home[00:01:01]
Even now the thought[00:01:03]
My soul with rapture thrills[00:01:05]
So goodbye my friends and brethren[00:01:08]
For the time has come to go[00:01:10]
I must leave you on the dear old battlefield[00:01:13]
Many days I'll climb the hillside[00:01:17]
In the sunshine and the rain[00:01:20]
Many days I'll be in hunger and in thirst[00:01:22]
Just to tell them that our[00:01:26]
Lord is coming back to earth again[00:01:28]
With his gifts and blessings[00:01:31]
All as at the first[00:01:33]
I'll soon be with my loved ones[00:01:35]
In my happy heavenly home[00:01:37]
Even now the thought[00:01:40]
My soul with rapture thrills[00:01:41]
So goodbye my friends and brethren[00:01:44]
For the time has come to go[00:01:46]
I must leave you on the dear old battlefield[00:01:49]
I will stand the trials and hardships[00:01:53]
Just to tell them precious truths[00:01:56]
That the gospel of our savior does contain[00:01:58]
And if they will but obey them[00:02:02]
And be faithful til our end[00:02:04]
Up in heaven we will meet you all again[00:02:07]
I'll soon be with my loved ones[00:02:12]
In my happy heavenly home[00:02:14]
Even now the thought[00:02:16]
My soul with rapture thrills[00:02:17]
So goodbye my friends and brethren[00:02:20]
For the time has come to go[00:02:22]
I must leave you on the dear old battlefield[00:02:24]
We'll not all be foreign laborers[00:02:29]
But the time has soon arrived[00:02:32]
When our mission we have faithfully fulfilled[00:02:34]
When our message is delivered[00:02:38]
And' tis said of us well done[00:02:40]
In triumph we'll leave the dear old battlefield[00:02:43]
I'll soon be with my loved ones[00:02:47]
In my happy heavenly home[00:02:49]
Even now the thought[00:02:52]
My soul with rapture thrills[00:02:53]
So goodbye my friends and brethren[00:02:56]
For the time has come to go[00:02:58]
I must leave you on the dear old battlefield[00:03:01]
