I Am Bound For The Promised Land

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
