On DJordan's stormy A7banks I stand
And Dcast a wishful A7eye
To DCanaan's fair and Ghappy Dland
Where my posA7sessions Dlie

[Verse 2]
O'er Dall those wide A7extended plains
Shine Don eternal A7day
There DGod the Son forGever Dreigns
And scatters A7night aDway

No Dchilling winds nor A7poisonous breath

And in His A7bosom Drest

I’m Dbound for the promised A7land
Oh Dwho will come and Ggo with Dme
I am bound for the A7promised Dland
