LyicsO when shall I see Je-sus,
And reign with him a-bove,
To drink the flowing foun-tain
Of ev-er-lasting love!
When shall I be de-liv-ered
From this vain world of sin,
And with my blessed Je-sus
Drink endless pleasures in.
And with my blessed Sa-viour
Drink endless pleasures in.
Drink endless pleasures in,
Drink endless pleasures in.
But now I am a soldier,
By 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.
Through grace I am determined
To conquer though I die,
And then away to Jesus
On wings of love I'll fly;
Farewell to sin and sorrow,
I bid them both adieu,
And you, my friends, prove faithful,
And on your way pursue.
And if you meet with troubles
And trials on the way,
Then cast your care on Jesus,
And don't forget to pray;
Gird on the heavenly armour
Of faith, and hope, and love,
And when your warfare's ended
You'll reign with him above.
Oh! do not be discouraged,
For Jesus is your friend,
And if you long for knowledge
On him you may depend;
Neither will he upbraid you,
Though often you request;
He'll give you grace to conquer,
And take you home to rest.
