LyicsON Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
O the transporting, rapt'rous scene,
That rises to my sight!
Sweet fields, array'd in living green,
And rivers of delight!
There gen'rous fruits that never fail,
On trees immortal grow;
There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales,
With milk and honey flow.
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?
Fill'd with delight, my raptur'd soul
Would here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless I'd launch away.
