Where my possessions lie, ...
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.

2. O! the transporting rapturous scene,
That rises to my sight;
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight!

3. O'er all those wide expanded plains,
Shines one eternal day;
There, God the son forever reigns,
And scatters right away.

4. No chilling winds, no poisonous breath,
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
