Hymnal: Joyful Songs #133 (1875) First Line: O the transporting rapturous scene Lyrics: O way over Jordan,
View the land, view the land,
Way over Jordan,
View the heav'nly land.
1 O the transporting rapturous scene,
That rises to my sight,
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight.
O way over Jordan,
View the land, view the land,
Way over Jordan,
View the heav'nly land.
2 O'er all those wide extended plains,
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son, forever reigns,
And scatters night away.
O way over Jordan,
View the land, view the land,
Way over Jordan,
View the heav'nly land.
3 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in His bosom rest.
O way over Jordan,
View the land, view the land,
Way over Jordan,
View the heav'nly land.
