O When Shall I See Jesus?

O when shall I see Je­sus

And reign with Him ab­ove

And from that flow­ing fount­ain

Drink ev­er­last­ing love?

When shall I be de­li­vered

From this vain world of sin

And with my bless­èd Je­sus

Drink end­less plea­sures in?

But now I am a sol­dier;

My cap­tain’s gone before.

He’s giv­en me my or­ders

And bids me not give o’er;

And

if I hold out faith­ful

A crown of life He’ll give;

And all His val­iant sol­diers

Shall ev­er with Him live.

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 you all adieu;

Then

O my friends

prove faith­ful

And on your way pur­sue.

Whene’er you meet with trou­bles

And tri­als on your way

O cast your care on Je­sus

And don’t for­get to pray:

Gird on the heav’n­ly ar­mor

Of faith and hope and love;

And when the com­bat’s end­ed

You’ll reign with Him ab­ove.
