[Oh! may I worthy prove to see]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

Oh! may I worthy prove to see
The saints in full prosperity:
Then my troubles will be over.
To see the bride, the glitt'ring bride,
Close seated by her Saviour's side:
Then my troubles will be over.

Chorus

I never shall forget the day when Jesus wash'd my sins away:
And then my troubles will be over,
Will be over, Will be over, And rejoicing,
And then my troubles will be over.
