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 promise land
I am bound for the promise land
Oh who will come and go with me
I am bound for the promise land
Over all those wide extended plains
Shines on eternal day
There God the Son forever reigns
And scatters night away
I am bound for the promise land
I am bound for the promise land
Oh who will come and go with me
I am bound for the promise land
No chilling winds nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more
I am bound for the promise land
I am bound for the promise land
Oh who will come and go with me
I am bound for the promise land
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 promise land
I am bound for the promise land
Oh who will come and go with me
I am bound for the promise land
