Thread Name: Tune Req: Religion Is A Fortune
Subject: Lyr Add: RELIGION IS A FORTUNE
Opps! The words as given don't quite fit the music. It's a great example of camp meeting style with Hallelujah's inserted into the text and a chorus on the end. For the music with 1st line as A, 2nd as B--A,A,B,A

Verse 1 (A,A)
Oh when shall I see Jesus,
And reign with Him above?
Shout glory, halle, hallelujah
And from the flowing fountain,
Drink everlasting love?
Shout glory, halle, hallelujah

Chorus: B,A
When we all get to heaven,
We will shout aloud and sing,
Shout glory, halle, hallelujah.
Religion is a fortune,
And heaven is a home,
Shout glory, Halle, hallelujah.

Verse 2
When shall I be delivered
From this vain world of sin?
Shout glory, halle, hallelujah.
And with my blessed Jesus
Drink endless pleasures in?
Shout glory, halle, hallelujah.
