Exhilaration 170
Tune: Dr. Thomas W. Carter, 1844
Alto: Mrs. Anna L. (Cooper) Blackshear, 1902
Lyrics: Baltimore Collection, 1801
Meter: Long Meter (8,8,8,8)
O may I worthy prove to see
The saints in full prosperity,
Then my troubles will be over.
To see the bride, the glitt’ring bride,
Close seated by her Savior’s side,
Then my troubles will be over.
Chorus:
I never shall forget the day when Jesus wash’d my sins away,
And now my troubles are all over,
Are all over, Are all over, Hallelujah,
And now my troubles are all over.
I'll praise Him while he gives me breath,
I hope to praise Him after death,
Then my troubles will be over.
I hope to praise Him when I die,
And shout salvation as I fly!
Then my troubles will be over.
(Chorus)
