Mormon Tabernacle Choir Bound For The Promised Land lyrics

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

Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene
That rises to my sight
Sweet fields arrayed in living green
And rivers of delight

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

There generous fruits that never fail
On trees immortal grow
There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales
With milk and honey flow

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

No chilling winds or poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more

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 blest
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

Filled with delight my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay
Though Jordan's waves around me roll
Fearless I'd launch 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
