On Jordan's Stormy Banks

On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,And cast a wishful eyeTo Canaan’s fair and happy land,Where my possessions lie.All o’er those wide extended plainsShines one eternal day;There God, the Son forever reigns,And scatters night away.I am bound, I am bound,I am bound for promised land. (repeat)No chilling winds nor poisonous breathCan reach that healthful shore;Sickness, sorrow, pain and death,Are felt and feared no more.I am bound, I am bound,I am bound for promised land. (repeat)When shall I reach that happy place,And be forever blest,Where shall I see my Father’s face,And in His bosom rest.I am bound, I am bound,I am bound for promised land.
