On Jordan's Stormy Banks

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

Verse 2
All o'er those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day
There God the Son forever reigns
And scatters night away

Chorus
I am bound I am bound
I am bound for the promised land
I am bound I am bound
I am bound for the promised land

Verse 3
No chilling winds nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore
Sickness and sorrow pain and death
Are felt and feared no more

Chorus

Verse 4
When shall I see that happy place
And be forever blessed
When shall I see my Father's face
And in His bosom rest
