253. On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

1.
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie

To see the righteous marching home and the angels bid them come,
And Jesus stands awaiting, to welcome travelers home,
To welcome travelers home, to welcome travelers home.
And Jesus stands awaiting, to welcome travelers home.
