[Verse 1]
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie

[Verse 2]
All o'er those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day
There God, the Son forever reigns
And scatters night away

[Chorus]
I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promised Land
I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promised Land

[Verse 3]
No chilling wind nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore
Where sickness, sorrow, pain, and death
Are felt and feared no more

[Chorus]
I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promised Land
I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promised Land
[Verse 4]
When shall I see that happy place
And be forever blessed
When shall I see my Father's face
And in his bosom rest

[Chorus]
I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promised Land
I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promised Land
I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promised Land
I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promised Land
