" Ye fleeting charms of earth, farewell, your springs of joy are dry;
My soul now seeks another home, a brighter world on high.
Farewell, my friends, whose tender care has long engaged my love;
Your fond embrace I now exchange for better friends above.
I'm a long time trav'ling here below,
I'm a long time trav'ling away from home,
I'm a long time trav'ling here below to lay this body down."
- The Sacred Harp

Come quickly, Lord Jesus...
