On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand
Words by Samuel Stennett. Music by Christopher Miner. ©1997 Christopher Miner Music.

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 for a promised land!
I am bound, I am bound,
I am bound for a promised land!

No chilling winds nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Where sickness, sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
(Chorus)

When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blessed?
When shall I see my Father’s face,
And in His bosom rest?
(Chorus)
