LyicsON Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.--CHO.
Chorus.--There'll be no sorrowing there,
There'll be no sorrowing there,
In heav'n above, where all is love,
There'll be no sorrowing there.
O the transporting, rapturous scene
That rises to my sight!
Sweet fields array'd in living green,
And rivers of delight!--CHO.
There gen'rous fruits, that never fail,
On trees immortal grow;
There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales,
With milk and honey flow.--CHO.
All o'er those wide-extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God, the Sun, forever reigns,
And scatters night away.--CHO.
No chilling winds nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.--CHO.
When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in His bosom rest?--CHO.
