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.
Oh, the transporting,
rapt’rous scene,
That rises to my sight,
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight.
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 raptured soul
Would here no longer stay!
Though Jordan’s waves
around me roll,
Fearless I’d launch 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.
