On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand, 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; 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!
Refrain
There generous fruits that never fail, On trees immortal grow; There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales, With milk and honey flow.
Refrain
O’er all those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Son forever reigns, And scatters night away.
Refrain
No chilling winds or poisonous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
Filled with delight my raptured soul Would here no longer stay; Though Jordan’s waves around me roll, Fearless I’d launch away.
