             A                        E
1. On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
             A                    E
    and cast a wishful eye
          A
    to Canaan's fair and happy land,
                            E            A
    where my possessions lie.

           A                                 E
I am bound for the promised land,
         A                                 E
Im bound for the promised land.
         A
Oh, who will come and go with me?
                                 E            A
I am bound for the promised land.

              A                        E
2. O'er all those wide extended plains
                   A                 E
    shines one eternal day,
                A
    there God the Son forever reigns,
                          E         A
    and scatters night away.

           A                                 E
I am bound for the promised land,
         A                                 E
Im bound for the promised land.
         A
Oh, who will come and go with me?
                                 E            A
I am bound for the promised land.

3. When shall I reach that happy place,
              A                 E
    and be forever blessed ?
                  A
    When shall  I see my Father's face,
                       E         A
    and in His bosom rest ?

           A                                 E
I am bound for the promised land,
         A                                 E
Im bound for the promised land.
         A
Oh, who will come and go with me?
                                 E            A
I am bound for the promised land.
