The promised land

Stennett Appears in 1,395 hymnals Topics: Heaven Promised land First Line: On Jordan's stormy banks I stand Refrain First Line: We will rest in the fair and happy land 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 O the transporting, rapturous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields array'd in living green, And rivers of delight! 3 There fruits that never fail, On trees immortal grow: There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales, With milk and honey flow. 4 All o'er those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God, the sun for ever reigns, And scatters night away. 5 No chilling winds, or poisonous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and fear'd no more. 6 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? 7 Fill'd with delight, my raptur'd soul Can here no longer stay: Tho' Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.
