Lyrics
On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
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 (I am bound)
I am bound for promised land,
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound for promised land.
No chilling winds nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness, sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blessed?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in His bosom rest?
