1. On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To 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
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land

Repeat Chorus

2. When shall I reach that happy place
And be forever blessed
When shall I see my father's face
And in His bosom rest

Repeat Chorus twice
