I AM Bound for the Promised Land

I AM Bound for the Promised Land - Alfred G. Karnes/E.K. Brewer/M. Mooney

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

And cast a wishful eye

To Canaan's fair and happy land

Where my basitions lie

I'm bound for the promised land

I'm bound for the promised land

Oh who will come and go with me

I'm bound for the promised land

All of those wide extended plains

Shines one eternal day

There God's son forever reigns

And scatters night away

I'm bound for the promised land

I'm bound for the promised land

Oh who will come and go with me

I'm bound for the promised land

No chilling winds no poison strand

Can reach that healthful shore

Sickness and sorrow pain and death

Are felt and feared no more

I'm bound for the promised land

I'm bound for the promised land

Oh who will come and go with me

I'm bound for the promised land

When shall I reach that heavenly place

And be forever blessed

When shall I see my Father's face

And in His bosom rest

I'm bound for the promised land

I'm bound for the promised land

Oh who will come and go with me

I'm bound for the promised land

Filled with delight my rested soul

Would ever longer stay

Though Jordan's winds around me roar

There bliss alone shall weigh

I'm bound for the promised land

I'm bound for the promised land

Oh who will come and go with me

I'm bound for the promised land
