I'm Bound For The Promised Land

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. 
         A 
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.
