I'm bound For the Promised Land

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>On Jordan&#x27;s stormy banks I stand<br/>And cast a wishful eye<br/>To Canaan&#x27;s fair and happy land<br/>Where my possessions lie<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>I am bound for the promised land<br/>I am bound for the promised land<br/>Oh, who will come and go with me<br/>I am bound for the promised land<br/><br/>[Verse 2]<br/>Over all those wide extended plains<br/>Shines one eternal day<br/>There God, the Son forever reigns<br/>And scatters night away<br/>[Chorus]<br/><br/>[Verse 3]<br/>No chilling winds or poisonous breath<br/>Can reach that healthful shore<br/>Sickness and sorrow, pain and death<br/>Are felt and feared no more<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/><br/>[Outro]<br/>When I shall reach that happy place<br/>I&#x27;ll be forever blessed<br/>For I shall see my Father&#x27;s face<br/>And in His bosom rest
