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.

Chorus:

I am bound for the promised land,
O who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father’s face,
And in his bosom rest?

(Chorus)

Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay:
Though Jordan’s waves around me roll,
Fearless I’d launch away.

(Chorus)
