[Music]
O when shall I see Jesus,
And reign with him above,
And from the flowing fountain
Drink everlasting love;
Soon we shall land on Canaan's shore,
Soon we shall land on Canaan's shore;
Soon we shall land on Canaan's shore to live forevermore.
The text by John Leland is given more fully under 'Faithful Soldier'.
The tune reappears with unimportant changes as a negro spiritual in
_Slave Songs_, No. 115. The first melodic sentence of the tune is
almost identical with the opening of 'The Winter it is Past', Petrie,
No. 439.
No. 205
