The Heavenly Port

Lyrics

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

Chorus:

We’ll stem the storm, it won’t be long,
The heav’nly port is nigh;
We’ll stem the storm, it won’t be long,
We’ll anchor by and by.

O’er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away.

(Chorus)
