1 O when shall I see Jesus,
And dwell with him above—
To drink the flowing fountain
Of everlasting love?
When shall I be delivered
From this vain world of sin,
And with my blessed Jesus,
Drink endless pleasures in?
Refrain:
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory,
Palms of victory I shall wear.
2 But now I am a soldier,
My Captain’s gone before;
He’s given me my orders,
And tells me not to fear;
And if I hold out faithful
A crown of life he’ll give,
And all his valiant soldiers
Eternal life shall have. [Refrain]
3 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. [Refrain]
