[Verse 1]
   D               A7
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

    D              A7
And cast a wishful eye

   D                 G     D
To Canaan's fair and happy land

            A7       D
Where my possessions lie
[Chorus]
     D                      A7
I am bound for the promised land

I’m bound for the promised land

Oh who will come and go with me

                   A7       D
I am bound for the promised land

[Verse 2]
     D              A7
O'er all those wide extended plains

      D          A7
Shine on eternal day

      D              G    D
There God the Son forever reigns

             A7     D
And scatters night away

I am bound for the promised land

[Verse 3]
   D                  A7
No chilling winds nor poisonous breath

    D                    A7
Can reach that healthful shore

    D               G        D
Sickness and sorrow pain and death

             A7        D
Are felt and feared no more
[Chorus]
     D                      A7

[Verse 4]
     D                  A7
When shall I reach that happy place

    D          A7
And be forever blessed

     D              G        D
When shall I see my Father's face

           A7    D
And in His bosom rest
