On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand

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,

I am bound for the promised land;

O who will come and go with me?

I am bound for the promised land.

All o’er those wide-extended plains

Shines one eternal day;

There God the Son forever reigns

And scatters night away.

Chorus

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
