On Jordan's Stormy Banks

On Jordan's Stormy Banks - Ray Walker

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

And cast a wishful eye

To Canaan's fair and happy land

Where my possessions lie

We will rest in the fair and happy land

By and by

Just across the evergreen shore

Evergreen shore

Sing the song of Moses and the Lamb

By and by

And dwell with Jesus ever more

Over all those wide extended plains

Shines one eternal day

There God the Son forever reigns

And scatters night away

We will rest in the fair and happy land

By and by

Just across the evergreen shore

Sing the song of Moses and the Lamb

By and by

And dwell with Jesus ever more

When shall I reach that happy place

And be forever blest

When shall I see my Father's face

And in his bosom rest

We will rest in the fair and happy land

By and by

Just across the evergreen shore

Evergreen shore

Sing the song of Moses and the Lamb

By and by

And dwell with Jesus ever more

Filled with delight my raptured soul

Would here no longer stay

Though Jordan's waves around me roll

Fearless I'd launch away

We will rest in the fair and happy land

By and by

Just across the evergreen shore

Evergreen shore

Sing the song of Moses and the Lamb

By and by

And dwell with Jesus ever more
