On Jordan's Stormy Banks lyrics

Chorus 1

I am bound I am bound

I am bound for the promised land

I am bound I am bound

I am bound for the promised land

Verse 1

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

And cast a wishful eye

To Canaan's fair and happy land

Where my possessions lie

Verse 2

All o'er those wide extended plains

Shines one eternal day

There God the Son forever reigns

And scatters night away

Verse 3

No chilling winds nor poisonous breath

Can reach that healthful shore

Sickness sorrow pain and death

Are felt and feared no more

Verse 4

When shall I see that happy place

And be forever blessed

When shall I see my Father's face

And in His bosom rest
