620 – On Jordan’s Stormy Banks
Major Key: E Flat
1
On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
CHORUS:
I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
O who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.
2
O’er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There, Christ, the Sun, for ever reigns,
And scatters night away.
3
When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father’s face,
And in His kingdom rest?
4
Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay;
Though Jordan’s waves around me roll,
Fearless I’d launch away.

178 – Ukingoni Mwa Tordani
“On Jordan”
1
Ukingoni mwa Yordani ninaangalia
Bara nzuri ya Kanaani, ninayotamani.
Chorus
Tutakaa pamoja na Yesu, Katika pwani yenye raha;
Tutaimba wimbo wa Musa na Kondoo, Milele hata milele.
2
Bara ile ina nuru, nuru ya milele;
Kristo, Jua, hutawala, hufukuza giza.
3
Nitapafikia lini na kubarikiwa,
Penye ufalme wa Baba, na kumwona uso?
4
Furaha yangu rohoni ni kuchukuliwa;
Siyaogopi mawimbi katika Yordani.
