On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand based on Heb. 11:16

An Introduction will play first, then begin your Psalm.

On Jordan's story 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;
O who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land.

All oér those wide extended plains shine one eternal day;
there God the Son forever reigns and scatters night away.

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.

No chilling winds nor poisonous breath can reach that healthful shore;
sickness and sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared no more.

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.

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: 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.
