553 ~ On Jordan’s Stormy Banks

1
 1

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,

And cast a wishful eye

To Canaan's fair and happy land,

Where my possessions lie.

1
 Refrain
We will rest in the fair and happy land,
Just across on the evergreen shore;
Sing the song of Moses and the Lamb by
and by,
And dwell with Jesus evermore.
1
 Filled with delight, my raptured soul

Would here no longer stay;

Though Jordan's waves around me roll,

Fearless I'd launch away.

1
 Refrain
We will rest in the fair and happy land,
Just across on the evergreen shore;
Sing the song of Moses and the Lamb by
and by,
And dwell with Jesus evermore.

 1
Just over the mountains in the
Promised Land,
Lies the holy city built by God's own
hand;

1
As our weary footsteps
gain the mountain's
crest,
We can view our
homeland of eternal
rest.

meet us there,

In that land of sunshine where

there'll be no care?

and to Him be true;

Then when Jesus cometh

He will call for you.

They Come From The
East And West
They come from the

east and west,

They come from

the north and south,

1
Invited to join with

Jesus as guests,

And dwell in their

Father’s house; 1
To gaze at His lovely

face,

And clothed with His

purity,
1
 Join with Him in

song and joy

Throughout eternity.

1
They come from
the thorny path,
They come from
the stormy sea,
C
They come from the
hills, they come from
the dales,
They come now, O
Lord, to Thee,

C
 Arrayed in His
marriage robes,
Their Bridegroom
so soon to see,
C
 He who hung
upon the cross
To win their
victory.
C
Here gathers a

countless host

Redeemed by His

grace from wrong.

2
No more any sin, no

more any tears,

No more any night

so long.
2
Old things are now

passed away,

All things are

become as new.

2
 Joy shall reign

eternally,

For death is ended,

too. 2
They come from
the thorny path,
They come from
the stormy sea,
C
They come from the
hills, they come from
the dales,
They come now, O
Lord, to Thee,

C
 Arrayed in His
marriage robes,
Their Bridegroom
so soon to see,
C
 He who hung
upon the cross
To win their
victory.
C
Remember the

pearly gate

Stands open for

you and me. 3

Our Saviour has gone

a place to prepare

For those He from sin

set free.
3
Loved ones who have

passed away

Are resting within

the grave,
3
Awaiting God’s last

trumpet call,

For those He came

to save. 3
They come from
the thorny path,
They come from
the stormy sea,
C
They come from the
hills, they come from
the dales,
They come now, O
Lord, to Thee,

C
 Arrayed in His
marriage robes,
Their Bridegroom
so soon to see,
C
 He who hung
upon the cross
To win their
victory.
