Hymnal: National Jubilee Melodies #56a (1916) First Line: On Jordan's stormy banks I stand Refrain First Line: O who will come and go with me Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie
Chorus:
I am bound for the promised land,
Ii am bound for the promised land,
O who will come and go with me,
I am bound for the promised land.
2 All o'er those wide, extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God, the Son, forever reigns,
And scatters night away. [Chorus]
3 No chilling winds nor pois'nous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more. [Chorus]
4 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest,
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in His bosom rest? [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [On Jordan's stormy banks I stand]
Bound for the Promised Land
