Lyics

Oh!  when shall I see Jesus,

And dwell with him above,

And drink the flowing fountain

Of everlasting love?

When shall I be deliver'd

From this vain world of sin,

And, with my blessed Jesus,

Drink endless pleasures in?

When shall I be deliver'd

From this vain world of isn,

And with my blessed Jesus,

Drink endless pleasures in?



But now I am a soldier,

My Captain's gone before;

He's given me my orders,

And tells me not to fear.

And if I hold out faithful,

A crown of life he'll give,

And all his valiant soldiers

Eternal life shall have.

And if I hold out faithful,

A crown of life he'll give,

And all his valiant soldiers

Eternal life shall have.
