Bound For The Promised Land lyrics

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land Where my possessions 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. There gen'rous fruits that never fail On trees immortal grow. There rocks and hills and brooks and vales. With milk and honey flow. I'm bound… All o'er those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day Where God on high forever reigns And scatters night away. I'm bound… When shall I reach that happy place And be forever blest? When shall I see my lather's face And in his bosom rest? I'm bound…
