Thread Name: Tune Req: Religion Is A Fortune
Subject: Lyr Add: RELIGION IS A FORTUNE
If these are the correct lyrics and the tune is the same as Faithful Soldier, I have that tune. Here is what I found. the first stanza is from Faithful Soldier, don't know abut the rest. It is not F.Soldier. Tune may be same.
Religion Is a Fortune 319 Tune: William L. Williams, 1850 Lyrics: John Leland, 1793 Meter: 7s,6s (7,6,7,6)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
