I AM BOUND FOR THE PROMISED LAND


Oh Jordan's stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie

Chorus:
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

All o'er those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day
There God the son forever reigns
And scatters night away (chorus)

When shall I reach that happy place
And be forever blessed?
When I shall see my Father's face
And in His bosom rest? (chorus 2 times)
