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!
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
