Tune: | [On Jordan's stormy banks I stand] |
Arranger: | R. M. McIntosh |
1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
Refrain:
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.
2 O'er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God, the Son, forever reigns,
And scatters night away. [Refrain]
3 No chilling winds, or pois'nous breath,
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more. [Refrain]
4 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be for ever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in His bosom rest? [Refrain]
