O when shall I see Jesus

Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #122 (1854) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1. O when shall I see Jesus, And dwell reign with him above, And drink the from the flowing fountain Drink everlasting love? When shall I be delivered, From this vain world of sin, And with my blessed Jesus, Drink endless pleasures in? 2. 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. 3. Through grace I am 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. 4. Whene'er you meet with troubles And trials on your way, Then cast your care 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. 5. 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. 6. And when the last loud trumpet Shall rend the vaulted skies, And bid the entombed millions From their cold beds arise; Our ransomed dust, revived, Bright beauties shall put on And soar to the blest mansions Where our Redeemer's gone. 7. Our eyes shall then with rapture, The Savior's face behold; Our feet, no more diverted, Shall walk the streets of gold Our ears shall hear with transport The hosts celestial sing; Our tongues shall chant the glories Of our immortal King.

William Walker

1809 - 1875 Composer of "[O when shall I see Jesus]" in Hymn and Tune Book of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (Round Note Ed.)

A. R. Cousin

1824 - 1906 Author of "O When Shall I See Jesus?" in Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book Cousin, Anne Ross, née Cundell, is the only daughter of David Ross Cundell, M.D., Leith, and is the widow of the Rev. William Cousin, late Minister of the Free Church of Melrose. She has contributed many poems to various periodicals; 7 hymns to The Service of Praise, 1865, edited by the Rev. J. H. Wilson, of Edinburgh; and 1 to the Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship, 1866, the Hymnal of the English Presbyterian Church. Four of her hymns are included in the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal, 1876. Her most popular hymn, "The sands of time are sinking," was first published in The Christian Treasury for 1857, and gives its title to the collected edition of her poems published in 1876, as Immanuel’s Land and other Pieces by A. R. C. This is a collection of 107 hymns and poems, many of which are very beautiful. In general they are, however, rather meditations than hymns suited for public worship. Of these the following, in addition to those annotated under their first lines, are in common use:— 1. King Eternal, King Immortal. Christmas. 2. O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head. Good Friday. 3. To Thee, and to Thy Christ, O God. Praise. 4. To thy father and thy mother. Filial Duty. [Rev. J. Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ===================== Cousin, Anne K., p. 264, ii. Other hymns are:— 1. None but Christ; His merit hides me. None but Christ. From her Immanuel's Land, &c, 1876, into Laudes Domini, 1884, &c. 2. O! Christ, He is the Fountain. This begins with stanza iii. of "The sands of time are sinking," p. 264, ii. 3. Saviour, shed Thy sweetest [richest] blessing. On behalf of Missioriaries. Published in Wilson's Service of Praise, 1865. 4. When we reach our peaceful dwelling. Heaven Anticipated. In her Immanuel's Land, &c. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) ================= Cousin, A. R., p. 264, ii, Other hymns that have passed into use are:— 1. In the songless night, the daylight dreary. Jesus near. 2. Lord, mine must be a spotless dress. Christ our Righteousness. 3. O now is the time. Seek the Lord. 4. O Thou that on the billow. Jesus near. Of these No. 4 appeared in J. H. Wilson's Songs of Zion, 1862; Nos. 1 and 3 in J. H. Wilson's Service of Praise, 1865 ; and No. 2 in her own Immanuel’s Land, 1876. Mrs. Cousin died at Edinburgh Dec. 6, 1906, in her 83rd year. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)

John Leland

1754 - 1841 Author of "Faithful Soldier" in Hymn and Tune Book of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (Round Note Ed.) Leland, John, an American Baptist minister, was born at Grafton, Massachusetts, on May 15th, 1754, and began to preach at the age of 20. From 1776 to 1790 he was in Virginia, and thereafter in Massachusetts, mostly at Cheshire. He died Jan. 14, 1841. His Sermons, Addresses, Essays and Autobiography were published by his niece, Miss L. F. Greene, at Lanesboro, Massachusetts, in 1845. His influence seems to have been equalled by his peculiarities. We hear of his "restless activity and roving disposition"; his "mad devotion to politics," wherein he had much local and temporary weight; his "ready wit and endless eccentricities;" as also of his high character. Of the hymns which have been ascribed to him, some on doubtful authority, the following are the most important:— 1. The day is past and gone, The evening, &c. Evening. This is in universal American use, and Leland's claim to the authorship has never been disputed, although it is supported by no known particulars. It was first made widely known by the invaluable Hartford Selection (Congregational) of 1799. Its first appearance, so far as known, was in Philomela, or, A Selection of Spiritual Songs, by George Roberts, Petersburg,1792, No. 82. 2. 0 when shall I see Jesus! The Christian Race. This vigorous lyric is ascribed by Dr. Hitchcock, in Hymns and Songs of Praise, 1874, to Leland. It has generally been regarded as anonymous, and is of uncertain date, cir. 1807, or probably earlier. 3. Christians, if your hearts are warm. Holy Baptism. Adult. The only hymn by Leland which can be authenticated by date and circumstances is this familiar doggerel:— "Christians, if your hearts are warm, Ice and snow can do no harm." Dr. Belcher says, in his Historical Sketches of Hymns, &c, 1859, that it was written for one of Leland's large baptisms in Virginia, 1779. [Rev. Frank M. Bird, M.A.] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
