Wales 214
Lyrics: Samuel Stennet
Tune: Moira Smiley, 1991
Meter: C.M. (8,6,8,6)
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie.
No chilling wind nor pois'nous breath
Can reach that healthful shore.
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
His own soft hand should wipe the tears
From every weeping eye,
And pains and groans and griefs and fears
And death itself shall die.
