# 620 On Jordan’s Stormy Banks
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.
