I Am Bound for the Promised Land

[Verse 1] On 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; O who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land. [Verse 2] All o'er all those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day, There God the Son for ever reigns And scatters night away. [Chorus] I am bound for the promised land, I am bound for the promised land; O who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land. [Verse 3] No chilling winds nor pois'nous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death Are felt and feared no more. [Chorus] I am bound for the promised land, I am bound for the promised land; O who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land. [Verse 4] When shall I reach that happy place, And be for ever blest? When shall I see the Father's face, And in His bosom rest? [Chorus] I am bound for the promised land, I am bound for the promised land; O who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land.
