Stennett: Bound For The Promised Land - Bryn Terfel, The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, Orchestra at Temple Square

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

O 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
