Text: | The Land Just Across the River |
Tune: | [On Jordan's stormy banks I stand] |
Composer: | T. C. O'Kane. By per. |
1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
Chorus:
We will rest in the fair and happy land,
Just across on the evergreen shore,
Sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, by and by,
And dwell with Jesus evermore.
2 O'er all these wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away. [Chorus]
3 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in his bosom rest? [Chorus]
4 Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay;
Tho' Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless I'd launch away. [Chorus]
