3 4 -4 5 4 -3 4 3
On Jordan's Stormy Banks I stand,
5 5 -5 6 -5 5-4
And cast a wishful eye,
3 4 -4 5 4 -3 4 3
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
4 4 4 -3 -3 4 4
Where my possessions lie.
3 4 -4 5 4 -3 4 3
All O'er Those wide extended plains,
5 5 -56-5 5-4
shines one eternal day,
3 4 -4 5 4 -3 4 3
There God, the son forever reigns,
4 4 4 -3 -344
and scatters night away
(Chorus:)
5 -5 6 -6 6 5
I am bound, I am bound,
-5 5 4 4 -4 5 -4 5-44
I am bound for the promised land
5 -5 6 -6 6 5
I am bound, I am bound,
-5 5 4 4 -4 5 -4 5-44
I am bound for the promised land
No chilling wind nor poisonous breath,
can reach that helpful shore,
where sickness sorrow, pain and death,
are felt and feared no more
chorus
When shall I see that happy place,
and be forever blessed
when shall I see my father's face,
and in his bosom rest
chorus
