Alfred G. Karnes - I Am Bound for the Promised Land Lyrics

Lyrics I Am Bound for the Promised Land - Alfred G. Karnes



On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land
Where my [unverified] lie
I'm bound for the promised land
I'm bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I'm bound for the promised land
All those wide, extended plains
Shines one eternal day
There God's [unverified] son forever reigns
And scatters night away
I'm bound for the promised land
I'm bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I'm bound for the promised land
No chilling winds, no poison strand
Can reach that healthful shore
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more
I'm bound for the promised land
I'm bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I'm bound for the promised land
When shall I reach that heavenly place
And be forever blessed?
When shall I see my Father's face
And in His bosom rest?
I'm bound for the promised land
I'm bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I'm bound for the promised land
Filled with delight, my rested soul
Would ever longer stay
Though Jordan's winds around me roar
There bliss alone shall weigh
