Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: Gloria Deo #617 (1901) Lyrics: 1 On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
2 O the transporting, rapturous scene,
That rises to my sight.
Sweet fields array’d in living green,
Sweet fields array’d in living green,
And rivers of delight.
3 All o’er those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God, the Son, forever reigns,
There God, the Son, forever reigns,
And scatters night away.
4 No chilling winds, nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
5 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father’s face,
When shall I see my Father’s face,
And in His bosom rest? Topics: Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: TAPPAN
