00:00On Jordan's stormy banks I stand and cast a wishful eye
00:12For Canaan's fair and happy land where my possessions lie
00:20I am bound for the promised land, I am bound for the promised land
00:28Oh who will come and go with me, I am bound for the promised land
00:36All o'er those wide extended plains shines one eternal day
00:44There God the sun forever reigns and scatters night away
00:52I am bound for the promised land, I am bound for the promised land
01:00Oh who will come and go with me, I am bound for the promised land
01:23When shall I reach that happy place and be forever blessed
01:31When shall I see my father's face and in his bosom rest
01:39I am bound for the promised land, I am bound for the promised land
01:46Oh who will come and go with me, I am bound for the promised land
01:54Yes I'm bound for the promised land
