[Music]
Fare-well, vain world, I'm going home,
I belong to this band, hallelujah,
My Savior smiles and bids me come,
I belong to this band, hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
I belong to this band, hallelujah.
The above melodic trend will be recognized as that of 'Roll Jordan'
and Stephen Foster's 'Susanna'. Compare 'Roll Jordan' in this
collection. The chorus--both tune and words--appears also in 'I Belong
to This Band (A)'. Further stanzas of the text are given under 'Golden
Harp'.
