15. I Am Bound For The Promised Land

1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye,
T'ward 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.

2 O'er all those wide- extended plains,
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away. [Chorus]

3 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]
