[[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.
