I´m bound for the promised land

My mothers Hymn book, 12; arranged by Johnny Cash

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

I am bound for the promised land
I am bound for the promised land
Oh who will come and go with me
I am bound for the promised land

O’er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day
There God the Son forever reigns
And scatters night away

I am bound for the promised land
I am bound for the promised land
Oh who will come and go with me
I am bound for the promised land

When I shall reach that happy place
I’ll be forever blessed
For I shall see my Father’s face
And in His bosom rest

I am bound for the promised land
I am bound for the promised land
Oh who will come and go with me
I am bound for the promised land
