O when shall I see Jesus

O when shall I see Jesus,And reign with him above;And from that flowing fountainDrink everlasting love?When shall I be deliveredFrom this vain world of sin,And, with my blessed Jesus,Drink endless pleasures in?

But now I am a soldier;My Captain 's gone before;He 's given me my orders,And bade me not give o'er.If I continue faithful,A righteous crown he 'll give,And all his valiant soldiersEternal life shall have.

Through grace I am determinedTo conquer, though I die;And then away to JesusOn wings of love I 'll fly.Farewell to sin and sorrow,I bid you all adieu;And, O my friends, be faithful,And on your way pursue.
