Whenwe from the ship or shore

Bid farewell—Oh, fare thee well!

Ocean-vasts and none can tell

Whether we shall evermore

Meet again, yet fare-thee-well

Means a hope whose accents spell

Till we greet again—farewell!

When we over sea or land

Godspeed wish—Oh, speed thee God!

Him we trust with kindly hand,

Narrow though the way or broad,

Sometime from the distant strand

Back again to bring us shod

Joyous o’er the way we trod.

Hope is Godspeed—speed thee God!

When our parting word fore’er

Is goodbye—God’s way be thine!

Whether ’tis ourself who fare

Or another we resign,

Yet committed to His care

And a future as benign,

We await the proof divine

Hope’s goodbye is God be thine!
