1. On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, and cast a wishful eye to Canaan's fair and happy land, where my possessions lie. I am bound for the promised land, I’m bound for the promised land. Oh, who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land. 2. O'er all those wide extended plains shines one eternal day, there God the Son forever reigns, and scatters night away. I am bound for the promised land, I’m bound for the promised land. Oh, who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land. 3. When shall I reach that happy place, and be forever blessed ? When shall I see my Father's face, and in His bosom rest ? I am bound for the promised land, I’m bound for the promised land. Oh, who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land.
