23. Beyond the Waves of Jordan

1 What radiant homes in realms of light,
Beyond the waves of Jordan!
That never know the gloom of night,
Beyond the waves of Jordan!

Chorus:
O, radiant home! O, robe and crown!
Beyond the waves of Jordan!
On us from yon far height look down,
Beyond the waves of Jordan!

2 What starry crowns forever fair,
Beyond the waves of Jordan!
That shine on brows, all free from care,
Beyond the waves of Jordan! [Chorus]

3 What snow-white robes the blessed wear,
Beyond the waves of Jordan!
I, in heav’n, their glory share,
Beyond the waves of Jordan! [Chorus]
