And

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.

Shout,

Through

grace

I

feel

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

them

both

adieu!

And

O,

my

friends,

prove

faithful,

And

on

your

way

pursue.

Shout,

Whene'er

you

meet

with

troubles,

And

trials

on

your

way,

Then

cast

your

cares

on

Jesus,

And

don't

forget

to

pray.

Gird

on

the

gospel

armor

Of

faith,

and

hope,

and

love,

And

when

the

combat's

ended,

He'll

carry

you

above.

Shout,

etc.

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.

Shout,

John

Leland

was

born

in

Massachusetts

in

1754

and

died

in

1844.

He

was

a

Baptist

minister,

laboring

mostly

in

Virginia

and

Massachusetts.

His

life

and

writings

were

published

in

1845

by

Miss

L.

F.

Green.

His

two

noted

hymns

were,

"O

When

Shall

I

See

Jesus?"

and

"The

Day

is

Past

and

Gone."

For

further

sketch

see

"Bound

for

Canaan."

This

is

claimed

by

William

Walker

under

another

name.

We

find

it

credited

to

Major

White

for

so

long

a

time

that

we

are

unwilling

to

make

the

change

as

to

authorship.

revisions

of

"Sacred

Harp"

up

to

1869.
