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 bless�d 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.
