620. On Jordan’s Stormy Banks

E                  F#m     B7
On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,

E          C#m  E   F#m7 B
And cast a wish-ful eye

Ab7 Dbm     Abm  A   E     A2
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,

Gbm7  E  Abm Gbm B7    E
Where my pos-ses-sions lie.

E          Emaj7   A    E    A
I am bound for the prom-ised land,

B    E     Emaj7   C#m  G#m  F#m B
I am bound for the prom-ised land;

Ab Dbm     Abm  A   E       A2
O who will come and go with me?

Gbm7 E     Abm     Gbm  B7   E
I am bound for the prom-ised land.


[[Full Lyrics]]

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

[Refrain]
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.

[Verse 2]
O’er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There, Christ, the Sun, forever reigns,
And scatters night away.

[Verse 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?

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