On Jordan?s stormy banks I stand, 
    D5              A5 
And cast a wishful eye 
   D5                 G5     D5 
To Canaan?s fair and happy land, 
      D5     A5 A5   D5 
Where my possessions lie.

All o?er those wide extended plains, 
       D5           A5 
Shines one eternal day; 
      D5              G5    D5 
There God the Son forever reigns, 
    D5        A5  A5 D5 
And scatters night a-way.

Verse 3 
    D5                  G5        D5 
No chilling winds nor poisonous breath

Can reach that healthful shore;

Are felt and feared no more.

And be forever blessed?

When shall I see my Father?s face,

And in His bos - om rest?
