On the high cliffs of Jordan with pleasure I stand
Author: Anon. Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On the high cliffs of Jordan with pleasure I stand,
And view in perspective the fair promised land,
The land where the ransomed with singing shall come,
And enter the kingdom prepared as their home.
2 'Tis there all the nations redeemed by the Lamb,
In circles most lovely, his praises proclaim;
Through tempests, and sorrows, and perils, they come,
To enter those mansions prepared as their home.
3 All over those peaceful and beautiful plains,
The Lord, our Redeemer, in righteousness reigns;
His scepter of empire he now doth assume,
And kindly doth welcome his followers home.
4 How blest are those regions, the realms of repose,
Through which the fair river of life gently flows!
The regions ambrosial, forever in bloom;
God's own habitation, the saints' happy home!

Person Name: Anon. Author of "On the high cliffs of Jordan with pleasure I stand" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Having immigrated as a child, he was converted in a Salvation Army service and began preaching soon after his baptism by Advent Christian Elder J. August Smith. He assisted Elder G.W. Sederquist in a series of meetings in the Green Street Tabernacle, Chicago, where he later served as pastor. In addition, he was a member of the Mission Band of the Moody Church of Chicago.
After having been licensed for a time, he was ordained by the Advent Christian Conference of Northern Illinois, meeting in Genoa, on March 7, 1892. After a period as an itinerant minister in Wisconsin, he held pastorates in Fairfield, Cobb, Mifflin, Monticello, and LaValle, where he stayed for many years. He was then pastor in Annandale, Minnesota, for eight years; Buchanan, Michigan for seven years; and finally at Blessed Hope Advent Christian Church, Chicago. Thereafter he did evangelistic work in West Virginia, Texas, and Portland, Oregon. His last days were spent in Santa Rosa, California.
Bloom wrote many hymns, most of which were published in The Golden Sheaf, No. 1. He was the compiler of Songs of Faith and Hope (Mendota, Ill: Hope Press, 1926). Shortly before his death, he was honored by the Christian Burden Bearers's Society as a prolific author and for this 48 years of gospel ministry.
