On Jordan's Stormy Banks Lyrics

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 a--way

Chorus

I am bound (I am bound)
I am - bound (I am bound)
I am bound for the promised land

I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound for the promised land

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 presence rest
