Light and Life ‎#89

89. I am on my way

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

Chorus:
I am on my way,
In the way our fathers trod,
I am on my way,
To my happy home with God.

2 O'er all those wide extended plains,
Shines one eternal day;
There God, the Son, forever reigns,
And scatters night away. [Chorus]

3 No chilling winds nor pois'nous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more. [Chorus]
