1 We join to sing a parting song,
On this our parting day;
Not thoughtless words and merry eyes,
Shall mark our roundelay.
Refrain:
We part today—sad thought to all—
To meet, we know not when;
Perhaps until the Master’s call,
We may not meet again.
2 But not sad hearted will we go,
Where duties’ banners fly;
We’ll bravely meet our every foe,
And at our post we’ll die. [Refrain]
3 Schoolmates, farewell, today must end
Our mingled joyous life;
Our happiness and joy must blend,
With toil and battle strife. [Refrain]
4 Farewell to all, may memory blend
Our hearts in fond embrace;
Till, in our home in Heav’n we find
Our final resting place. [Refrain]
