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

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
I'm bound for the promised land.

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