Samuel Stennett
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, and cast a wishful eye to Canaan's fair and happy land, where my possessions lie.
O'er all those wide extended plains shines one eternal day; there God the Son forever reigns, and scatters night away. [Refrain]
No chilling winds or poisonous breath can reach that healthful shore; sickness and sorrow, pain and death, are felt and feared no more. [Refrain]
When I shall reach that happy place, I'll be forever blest, for I shall see my Father's face, and in his bosom rest. [Refrain]
