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
Shines one 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 or 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
I'll 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
Filled with delight my rested soul
Would ever longer stay
Though Jordan's winds around me roar
There bliss alone shall weigh
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
