Oh when shall I see Jesus,
And reign with Him above?
And from the flowing fountain,
Drink everlasting love?
Chorus:
Shout glory, hallelujah.
When we all get to heaven,
We will shout aloud and sing,
Shout glory, hallelujah.
Religion is a fortune,
And heaven is a home,
Shout glory, hallelujah.
When shall I be delivered
From this vain world of sin?
And with my blessed Jesus
Drink endless pleasures in?
(Chorus)
And reign with Him above?
And from the flowing fountain,
Drink everlasting love?
Chorus:
Shout glory, hallelujah.
When we all get to heaven,
We will shout aloud and sing,
Shout glory, hallelujah.
Religion is a fortune,
And heaven is a home,
Shout glory, hallelujah.
When shall I be delivered
From this vain world of sin?
And with my blessed Jesus
Drink endless pleasures in?
(Chorus)
