553 ~ On Jordan’s Stormy Banks

1

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie.


Refrain

We will rest in the fair and happy land, Just across on the evergreen shore; Sing the song of Moses and the Lamb by and by, And dwell with Jesus evermore.

2

O'er all those wide extended plain Shines one eternal day; There Christ, the Sun, for ever reigns, And scatters night away.

3

When shall I reach that happy place, And be forever blest? When shall I see my Father's face, And in His kingdom rest?

4

Filled with delight, my raptured soul Would here no longer stay; Though Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.
