On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye

Author: Stennett Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #966 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Revelation 21 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. 2 Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene, That rises to my sight!-- 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 for ever reigns, And scatters night away. 4 No chilling winds, nor poisonous breath, Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more. 5 When shall I reach that happy place, And be for ever blest? When shall I see my Father's face, And in his bosom rest? 6 Filled with delight, my raptured soul Would here no longer stay; Though Jordan's waves should round me roll, I'd fearless launch away.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Glory to God #81 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Revelation 21:2-3 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God. God, whose word cannot be broken, formed thee for a blest abode. On the rock of ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which God gives them when they pray. 3 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever flows, their thirst to assuage? Grace, so like the Lord the giver, never fails from age to age.

On the rock of ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou mayest smile at all thy foes. 2 See! The streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters and all fear of want remove. Who can faint, when such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering -- showing that the Lord is near. Thus they march, the pillar leading, light by night, and shade by day; daily on the manna feeding which God gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading is the world's best pleasure, all its boasted pomp or show: solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know.

May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heav'n, my all; My God, my heav'n, my all, My God, my heav'n, my all, May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heav'n, my all. 4 There I shall bathe my weary soul In seas of heav'nly rest, And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast, Across my peaceful breast, Across my peaceful breast, And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast.
