I Am Bound for the Promised Land
▶️ Don't miss this Song of the Day ◀️
Lyrics
On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan’s fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie
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
Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene
That rises to my sight
Sweet fields arrayed in living green
And rivers of delight
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
There generous fruits that never fail
On trees immortal grow
There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales
With milk and honey flow
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
O’er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day
There God the Son forever reigns
And scatters night away
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
No chilling winds or poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more
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
When I shall reach that happy place
I’ll be forever blest
For I shall see my Father’s face
And in His bosom rest
