And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
Refrain:
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.
2 All o'er those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns
And scatters night away. [Refrain]
3 No chilling winds or pois'nous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more. [Refrain]
4 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest?
When I shall see my Father's face,
And in His bosom rest? [Refrain] Topics: Life Everlasting Tune Title: PROMISED LAND
On Jordan's Stormy Banks
