C G7
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
C G7
And cast a wishful eye
C
To Canaan's fair and happy land
C G7 C
Where my possessions lie
[Chorus]
C G7
I am bound for the promised land
C G7
I’m bound for the promised land
C
Oh who will come and go with me
C G7 C
I am bound for the promised land
[Verse 2]
C G7
O'er all those wide extended plains
C G7
Shines on eternal day
C
There God the Son forever reigns
C G7 C
And scatters night away
[Chorus]
C G7
I am bound for the promised land
C G7
I’m bound for the promised land
C
Oh who will come and go with me
C G7 C
I am bound for the promised land
[Verse 3]
C G7
No chilling winds or poisonous breath
C G7
Can reach that healthful shore
C
Sickness and sorrow pain and death
G7 C
Are felt and feared no more
[Chorus]
C G7
I am bound for the promised land
C G7
I’m bound for the promised land
C
Oh who will come and go with me
C G7 C
I am bound for the promised land
[Verse 4]
C G7
When shall I reach that happy place
C G7
And be forever blessed
C
When shall I see my Father's face
G7 C
And in His bosom rest
[Chorus]
C G7
I am bound for the promised land
C G7
I’m bound for the promised land
C
Oh who will come and go with me
C G7 C
I am bound for the promised land
