On Jordan's Stormy Banks
1 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. 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. [Refrain] 3 No chilling winds or pois'nous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more. [Refrain] 4 When shall I reach that happy place, And be forever blest? When I shall see my Father's face, And in His bosom rest? [Refrain]
