I am Bound for the Promised Land

(On Jordan’s Story Banks)

By Samuel Stennett (1787)

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;

O who will come and go with me?

I am bound for the promised land.
