Lyrics
553: On Jordan’s Stormy Banks
Verse 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.
Verse 2
O'er all those wide extended plain
Shines one eternal day;
There Christ, the Sun, for ever reigns,
And scatters night away.
Verse 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?
Verse 4
Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless I'd launch away.
