I'm Bound For The Promised Land lyrics

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 I shall reach that happy place, I'll be forever blessed, For I shall see my Father's face, And in His bosom rest.
