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;
Oh who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

O the transporting, rapturous scene
That rises to my sight!
Sweet fields arrayed in living green
And rivers of delight!

Chorus:
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.

There generous fruits that never fail
On trees immortal grow;
There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales
With milk and honey flow.

Chorus:
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.

O'er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns
And scatters night away.

Chorus:
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.

No chilling winds or poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more.

Chorus:
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.

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.

Chorus:
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.

Filled with delight my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves around me roll
Fearless I'd launch away.

Chorus:
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.
