I am Bound for the Promised Land

歌詞

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land Where my [unverified] lie I'm bound for the promised land I'm bound for the promised land Oh, who will come and go with me? I'm bound for the promised land All those wide, extended plains Shines one eternal day There God's [unverified] son forever reigns And scatters night away I'm bound for the promised land I'm bound for the promised land Oh, who will come and go with me? I'm bound for the promised land No chilling winds, no poison strand Can reach that healthful shore Sickness and sorrow, pain and death Are felt and feared no more I'm bound for the promised land I'm bound for the promised land Oh, who will come and go with me? I'm bound for the promised land When shall I reach that heavenly place And be forever blessed? When shall I see my Father's face And in His bosom rest? I'm bound for the promised land I'm bound for the promised land Oh, who will come and go with me? I'm bound for the promised land Filled with delight, my rested soul Would ever longer stay Though Jordan's winds around me roar There bliss alone shall weigh
