620. On Jordan’s Stormy Banks

D                  Em      A7
On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,

D          Bm   D   Em7 A
And cast a wish-ful eye

Gb7 Bm      Gbm  G   D     G2
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,

Em7   D  F#m Em  A7    D
Where my pos-ses-sions lie.

D          Dmaj7   G    D    G
I am bound for the prom-ised land,

A    D     Dmaj7   Bm   F#m  Em A
I am bound for the prom-ised land;

Gb Bm      Gbm  G   D       G2
O who will come and go with me?

Em7  D     F#m     Em   A7   D
I am bound for the prom-ised land.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[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.

[Refrain]
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.

[Verse 2]
O’er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There, Christ, the Sun, forever reigns,
And scatters night away.

[Verse 3]
When shall I reach that happy place, 
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father’s face,
And in His kingdom rest?

[Verse 4]
Filled with delight, my raptured soul 
Would here no longer stay;
Though Jordan’s waves around me roll, 
Fearless I’d launch away.
