Alfred G. Karnes - I Am Bound For The Promised Land Lyrics
On Jordan's stormy banks I standAnd cast a wishful eyeTo Canaan's fair and happy landWhere my [unverified] lieI'm bound for the promised landI'm bound for the promised landOh, who will come and go with me?I'm bound for the promised landAll those wide, extended plainsShines one eternal dayThere God's [unverified] son forever reignsAnd scatters night awayI'm bound for the promised landI'm bound for the promised landOh, who will come and go with me?I'm bound for the promised landNo chilling winds, no poison strandCan reach that healthful shoreSickness and sorrow, pain and deathAre felt and feared no moreI'm bound for the promised landI'm bound for the promised landOh, who will come and go with me?I'm bound for the promised landWhen shall I reach that heavenly placeAnd be forever blessed?When shall I see my Father's faceAnd in His bosom rest?I'm bound for the promised landI'm bound for the promised landOh, who will come and go with me?I'm bound for the promised landFilled with delight, my rested soulWould ever longer stayThough Jordan's winds around me roarThere bliss alone shall weigh
