On Jordan's Stormy Banks

Author: Samuel Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 with refrain Appears in 1,369 hymnals First Line: On Jordan's stormy banks I stand Refrain First Line: I am bound for the promised land Lyrics: 1. On Jordan's stormy banks I stand And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land Where my possessions lie. 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. 2. All o'er those wide-extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Son forever reigns And scatters night away. 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. 3. No chilling winds nor pois'nous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death Are felt and feared no more. 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. 4. When shall I reach that happy place And be forever blest? When shall I see my Father's face And in His bosom rest? 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. Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Used With Tune: PROMISED LAND
