620. On Jordan’s Stormy Banks

A                  Bm      E7
On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,

A          F#m  A   Bm7 E
And cast a wish-ful eye

Db7 Gbm     Dbm  D   A     D2
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,

Bm7   A  C#m Bm  E7    A
Where my pos-ses-sions lie.

A          Amaj7   D    A    D
I am bound for the prom-ised land,

E    A     Amaj7   F#m  C#m  Bm E
I am bound for the prom-ised land;

Db Gbm     Dbm  D   A       D2
O who will come and go with me?

Bm7  A     C#m     Bm   E7   A
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.
