Bound for the promised land. Hank

 

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 am bound for the promised land

Oh, who will come and go with me?

I am bound for the promised land

O'er all those wide extended plains

Shine on 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

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 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 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 am bound for the promised land

Oh, who will come and go with me?

I am bound for the promised land
