I Am Bound for the Promised Land (2019 - Remaster) Songtext
von Hank Williams

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′er all those wide extended plains
Shines on 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 shall I reach that happy place
And be forever blessed?
When shall I 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
