-{{Text|English|
-On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
-And cast a wishful eye
-To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
-Where my possessions lie.
-Refrain:
-I am bound for the promised land,
-Oh who will come and go with me?
-O’er all those wide extended plains
-Shines one eternal day;
-There God the Son forever reigns,
-And scatters night away.
-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
