On Jordan's stormy banks I standAnd cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land Where my possessions lie I am bound for the Promised Land I am bound for the Promised Land Oh who will come and go with me? I am bound for the Promised Land Over 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 am bound for the Promised Land Oh who will come and go with me? I am bound for the Promised Land When I shall reach that happy place And be forever blessed When I shall see my Father's face And in his bosom rest I am bound for the Promised Land I am bound for the Promised Land Oh who will come and go with me? I am bound for the Promised Land
