[On Jordan's stormy banks I stand]
1.
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,And cast a wishful eye
On the other side of Jordan, hallelujah!
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie,
On the other side of Jordan hallelujah!
2.
Oh! the transport, rapt'rous scene,That rises to my sight!
On the other side of Jordan, hallelujah!
Sweet fields, array'd in living green,
And rivers of delight,
On the other side of Jordan, hallelujah!
3.
O'er all those wide-extended plainsShines one eternal day,
On the other side of Jordan, hallelujah!
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away,
On the other side of Jordan, hallelujah!
4.
No chilling winds, nor pois'nous breathCan reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and fear'd no more.
5.
When shall I reach that happy place,And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in his bosom rest?
6.
Fill'd with delight, my raptured soulWould here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves should round me roll.
I'd fearless launch away.
