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:
Oh, the transporting rapt'rous scene, That rises to my sight,
Sweet fields arrayed in living green, And rivers of delight.
2. O'er all those wideextended plains, Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns, And scatters night away.
3. No chilling winds, or pois'nois breath, Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more.
