On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.

All o’er those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God, the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away.

I am bound, I am bound,
I am bound for promised land. (repeat)

No chilling winds nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness, sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.

I am bound, I am bound,
I am bound for promised land. (repeat)

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

I am bound, I am bound,
I am bound for promised land. (repeat)
