On Jordan’s Stormy Banks Words by Samuel Stennett Music: American Folk Hymn; arr. Rigdon M. McIntosh Words and Music public domain 611
On Jordan’s stormy banks I standAnd cast a wishful eyeTo Canaan’s fair and happy landWhere my possessions lie
I am bound for the promised landI am bound for the promised landO who will come and go with meI am bound for the promised land
All o’er those wide-extended plainsShines one eternal dayThere God the Son forever reignsAnd scatters night away
I am bound for the promised landI am bound for the promised landO who will come and go with meI am bound for the promised land
No chilling winds nor pois’nous breathCan reach that healthful shoreSickness and sorrow, pain and deathAre felt and feared no more
I am bound for the promised landI am bound for the promised landO who will come and go with meI am bound for the promised land
When shall I reach that happy placeAnd be forever blestWhen shall I see my Father’s faceAnd in His bosom rest
I am bound for the promised landI am bound for the promised landO who will come and go with meI am bound for the promised land
