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.
