Bound For the Promised Land

I am bound for the Promised Land
I am bound for the Promised Land
Oh who will come and go with me
I am bound for the Promised Land

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand and cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land where my possessions lie

Oer all those wide extended plains shines one eternal day
There God the Son forever reigns and scatters night away

No chilling winds nor poisonous breath can reach that healthful shore
Where sickness sorrow pain and death are felt and feared no more
