Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Use of the Latter Day Saints, 1844

1. Yes, my native land, I love thee,
All thy scenes I love them well,
Friends, connexions happy country!
Can I bid you all farewell!
Can I leave thee, can I leave thee -
Far in distant lands to dwell?

2. Home! thy joys are passing lovely;
Joys no strangerheart can tell!
Happy home! 'tis sure I love thee!
Can I - can I say, farewell?
Can I leave thee, can I leave thee -
Far in distant lands to dwell?

3. Holy scenes of joy and gladness,
Ev'ry fond emotion swell,
Can I banish heartfelt sadness
While I bid my home farewell?
Can I leave thee, can I leave thee -
Far in distant lands to dwell?

4. Yes! I hasten from you gladly,
From the scenes I love so well!
Far away, ye billows, bear me:
Lovely, native land, farewell!
Pleased I leave thee, pleased I leave thee -
Far in distant lands to dwell.

5. In the deserts let me labor,
On the mountains let me tell,
How he died - the blessed Savior -
To redeem a world from hell!
Let me hasten, let me hasten -
Far in distant lands to dwell.

6. Bear me on, thou restless ocean;
Let the winds my canvass swell;
Heaves my heart with warm emotion,
While I go far hence to dwell,
Glad I bid thee, glad I bid thee -
Native land, Farewell, Farewell.

Joys no stranger heart can tell;
Happy home! 'tis sure I love thee,
Can I - can I say Farewell?
Can I leave thee,
Far in distant lands to dwell?

Every fond emotion swell;

While I bid my home farewell?

From the scenes I love so well,
Far away, ye billows, bear me,
Lovely, native land - farewell!
Pleased I leave thee,
Far in distant lands to dwell.

5. In the deserts let me labour,
On the mountains let me tell
How he died - the blessed Saviour -
To redeem a world from hell!

Let the winds my canvass swell;
Heaves my heart with warm emotion,
While I go far hence to dwell.
Glad I bid thee,
