On Jordan’s Stormy Banks

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. 620

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.
