2. There you may teach our hymns
Without the laws controulment;
We need not fear, the Bishops there,
Nor Spiritual-Courts inroulment;
Nay the Surplice shall not fright us
Nor superstitious blindness;
Nor scandal rise, when we disguise,
And our Sisters kiss in Kindness;
Chorus
3. Fair Company I fear not
There goes my Cosin Hannah,
And Rubin, so persuades to go
My Cosin Joyce, Susanna,
With Abigail and Faith,
And Ruth, no doubt come after,
And Sarah kind, will not stay behind;
My Cosin Constance Daughter;

4. Tom Tyler is prepared,
And the Smith is black as coal;
Ralph Cobler too with us will go,
For he regards his soul;
The weaver, honest Simon,
With Prudence, Jacobs Daughter,
And Sarah, she, and Barbara,
Professeth to come after;
Chorus
5. When we, that are elected,
Arrive in that fair Country,
E'en by our faith, as the Brethren saith
We will not fear our entry;
The psalms shall be our Music,
Our time spent in expounding,
Which in our zeal we will reveal
To the Brethren joy abounding.
