[O when shall I see Jesus]
[1]
O when shall I see Jesus,And reign with him above?
And from the flowing fountain,
Drink everlasting love?
When shall I be deliver'd
From this vain world of sin?
And with my blessed, Jesus,
Drink endless pleasures in
2
But now I am a soldier,My Captain's gone before;
He's given me my orders,
And bids me ne'er give o'er;
His promises are faithful—
A righteous crown he'll give,
And all his valiant soldiers
Eternally shall live.
3
Through grace I am determinedTo 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 O, my friends, prove faithful,
And on your way pursue.
4
Whene'er you meet with troublesAnd trials on your way,
Then cast your care on Jesus,
And don't forget to pray.
Gird on the gospel armour
Of faith, and hope, and love,
And when the combat's ended,
He'll carry you above.
5
O do not be discouraged,For Jesus is your friend;
And if you lack for knowledge,
He'll not refuse to lend.
Neither will he upbraid you,
Though often you request,
He'll give you grace to conquer,
And take you home to rest.
6
And when the last loud trumpetShall rend the vaulted skies,
And bid th' entombed millions
From their cold beds arise;
Our ransom'd dust, revived,
Bright beauties shall put on
And soar to the blest mansions
Where our Redeemer's gone.
7
Our eyes shall then with rapture,The Saviour's face behold;
Our feet, no more diverted,
Shall walk the streets of gold
Our ears shall hear with transport
The hosts celestial sing;
Our tongues shall chant the glories
Of our immortal King.
