Hymn 130<br>
[[C.M.]]<br>
1. On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,<br>
And cast a wishful eye,<br>
To Canaan's fair and happy land,<br>
Where my possessions lie.

2. O the transporting rapt'rous scene,<br>
That rises to my sight!<br>
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,<br>
And rivers of delight!

3. There gen'rous fruits that never fail,<br>
On trees immortal grow:<br>
There rocks, and hills, and brooks, and vales,<br>
With milk and honey flow.

4. All o'er those wide extended plains,<br>
Shines one eternal day;<br>
There God the Son for ever reigns,<br>
And scatters night away.

5. No chilling winds nor pois'nous breath,<br>
Can reach that healthful shore;<br>
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,<br>
Are felt and feared no more.

6. When shall I reach that happy place,<br>
And be for ever blest?<br>
When shall I see my Father's face,<br>
And in his bosom rest?

7. Filled with delight, my raptured soul,<br>
Would here no longer stay!<br>
Though Jordan's waves around me roll,<br>
Fearless I'd launch away.

8. There on those high and flow'ry plains,<br>
Our spirits ne'er shall tire;<br>
But in perpetual, joyful strains,<br>
Redeeming love admire.
