Hymn 170 I AM BOUND FOR Lyrics

1. On Jordan’ stormy banks I stand.
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lic

Chorus
I am bound for the promised land
I am bound for the promised land:
O who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land

2. All over those wide extended plains:
Shines one eternal day:
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away

3. No chilling winds, nor poisonous breath,
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more

4. When shall I reach that happy place.
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father’s face,
And in His bosom rest?
