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.
