- (continued from previous page)To us you have grown vey dear
To part it will bring many a tear
For one thing we cannot replace
And that's your pleasant smiling face.
Please God we will see you just the same.
When we meet you ten years hence.Chorus -
We will bid to you farewell
Now that you are going from us
To reach God's faith to the heathens over the waves (?)
But remember you we will
Although you are miles away from us
Pray we to God all dangers you will brave
So we gather here this blessed night
To cheer you as you go to fight
And teach the faith of Ireland
Miles away in New ZealandII
Dear Father Conboy
May God's blessing fall
Upon your priestly life
And guide you to your destined goal(continues on next page)- Collector
