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, Oh who will come and go with me? O'er all those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Son forever reigns, And scatters night away. Refrain When I shall reach that happy place, I'll be forever blest, For I shall see my Father's face, And in his bosom rest. Refrain
