O
when
shall
I
see
J
e-sus,
and
reign
with
Him
above?
And
from
the
flowing
fountain,
Drink
ev'r-lasting
love?}
When
shall
I
be
deliver'd
From
this
vain
world
of
sin?
And
with
my
blessed
Jesus,
Drink
endless
pleasures
in?

But
now
I
am
a
soldier,
My
Captain's
gone
be-fore
He's
given
me
my
orders,
And
bids
me
not
give
o'er.
}
His
promises
are
faithful,
A
righteous
crown
he'll
give,
And
all
his
valiant
soldiers,
Eternally
shall
live.
