620- On Jordan's Stormy Banks
Christian Life: Pilgrimage
1
- On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
- And cast a wishful eye
- To Canaan's fair and happy land,
- Where my possessions lie.
Refrain
- I am bound for the promised land,
- I am bound for the promised land;
- O who will come and go with me?
- I am bound for the promised land.
2
- O'er all those wide extended plains
- Shines one eternal day;
- There, Christ, the Sun, forever reigns,
- And scatters night away.
3
- When shall I reach that happy place,
- And be forever blest?
- When shall I see my Father's face,
- And in His kingdom rest?
4
- Filled with delight, my raptured soul
- Would here no longer stay;
- Though Jordan's waves around me roll,
- Fearless I'd launch away.
