Text:O, when shall I see Jesus?
Author:Rev. W. M. Leftwich, D. D.
Tune:[O, when shall I see Jesus]
Arranger:R. M. McIntosh

49. O, when shall I see Jesus?

1 O, when shall I see Jesus,
And reign with him above;
And drink the flowing fountain,
Of everlasting love?

Refrain:
Christ is all the world to me,
And his glory I shall see;
And before I'd leave my Saviour,
I'd lay me down and die.

2 When shall I be delivered
From this vain world of sin,
And with my blessed Jesus,
Drink endless pleasure in? [Refrain]

3 Whene'er you meet with troubles
And trials on your way,
O, cast your care on Jesus,
And don't forget to pray. [Refrain]
