[Music]
Farewell, vain world, I'm going home,
My Savior smiles and bids me come,
And I don't care to stay here long.
Sweet angels beckon me away
To sing God's praise in endless day,
And I don't care to stay here long.
Right up yonder, Christians,
Away up yonder;
O yes, my Lord,
For I don't care to stay here long.
Further stanzas of the text are given under 'Golden Harp'. This tune
was recorded for the 1850 edition of the _Sacred Harp_, evidently by
the Georgian, Leonard P. Breedlove.
