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.
O The Transporting, Rapturous Scene,
That Rises To My Sight!
Sweet Fields Arrayed In Living Green,
And Rivers Of Delight!
There Generous Fruits That Never Fail,
On Trees Immortal Grow;
There Rocks And Hills, And Brooks And Vales,
With Milk And Honey Flow.
O’er All Those Wide Extended Plains
Shines One Eternal Day;
There God The Son Forever Reigns,
And Scatters Night Away.
No Chilling Winds Or Poisonous Breath
Can Reach That Healthful Shore;
Sickness And Sorrow, Pain And Death,
Are Felt And Feared No More.
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.
Filled With Delight My Raptured Soul
Would Here No Longer Stay;
Though Jordan’s Waves Around Me Roll,
Fearless I’d Launch Away.
