Lyrics
1. On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, and cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, where my posessions lie. O the transporting rapturous scene that rises to my sight Sweet fields arrayed in living green and rivers of delight. 2. Over all those wide extended plains shines one eternal day There God the Son forever reigns and scatters night away. No chilling winds of poisonous breath can reach that healthful shore Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, are felt and feared no more. 3. When I shall reach that happy place, I'll be forever blest, For I shall see my Father's face, and in His bosom rest. Filled with delight my raptured soul lives out its earthly day And then, though Jordan's waves may roll, I'll fearless launch away.
