| Tune: | [On Jordan's stormy banks I stand] |
| Composer: | S. Hebbard |
1 On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie,
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
2 O the transporting, rapturous scene,
That rises to my sight!
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight,
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight.
3 O’er all those wide-extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away,
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away.
