On Jordan's stormy banks I stand And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land Where my possessions lie All o'er those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day There God, the Son, forever reigns And scatters night away I am bound, I am bound I am bound for the promised land I am bound, I am bound I am bound for the promised land No chilling winds nor poisonous breath Can reach that healthful shore Sickness, sorrow, pain and death Are felt and feared no more 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, I am bound I am bound for the promised land I am bound, I am bound I am bound for the promised land I am bound (I am bound) I am bound (I am bound) I am bound for the promised land I am bound (I am bound) I am bound (I am bound) I am bound for the promised land I am bound, I am bound I am bound for the promised land I am bound, I am bound I am bound for the promised land I am bound for the promised land I am bound for the promised land
