On Jordan's Stormy Banks

On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wish-ful eye.
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie


[CHORUS]
We will rest in that fair and happy land …(by and by).
Just across on the evergreen shore….(ever green shore).
Sing the song of Moses and the Lamb by and by,
And dwell with Jesus evermore.


O’er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day,
There Christ, the Sun, forever reigns,
And scatters night away.


When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father’s face,
And in his kingdom rest?


Fill’d with delight, my ruptured soul
Would here no longer stay.
Tho’ Jordan’s waves around me roll,
Fearless I’d launch away.
