1.  OUR life span is all but seventy years 

     Like the hirelings day

     Just like flowery weeds, we shall be 

     hewned down

     And we shall thus pass on. 

Chorus: Goodbye, goodbye, dear beloved 

              Goodbye, goodbye, dear beloved 

              Goodbye, till the resurrection day.


2.  Though the grass is dead, it lives no more 

     Thou art dead yet to live

     And thou shall adorn unfading crown 

     At the bossom of the Saviour.

Chorus: Goodbye, goodbye...


3.  ln fellowship we are, previous months 

     Lo! You are no more now

     Our dear beloved not in a sojourn

     But transiting by death.

Chorus: Goodbye, goodbye...


4.  May we be tutored by this instance 

     To amend our characters

     Sapped tree may erect, while 

     flourishing one

     May yet be hewned down soon.

Chorus: Goodbye, goodbye...

     Revealing how we end

     Beloved thy good works transit with thee 

     Thine best thou hath done on earth.

     Of our departed one,

     We shall fellowship in heaven above 

    On the resurrection day.

              Goodbye, goodbye, dear beloved 

              Goodbye, till the resurrection day.  Amen
