620 On Jordan s Stormy Banks

[1]
On Jordan s stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan s fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie.

[C]
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 plain
Shines one eternal day;
There Christ the Sun forever reigns
And scatters night away.

[C]
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.

[3]
When shall I reach that happy place
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father s face
And in His kingdom rest?

[C]
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.

[4]
Filled with delight my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay;
Though Jordan s waves around me roll
Fearless I d launch away.

[C]
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.
