Review:
The text of this American folk hymn begins, "On Jordan's stormy banks I stand and cast a wishful eye." That wishfulness is captured musically by a sustained, smooth-flowing rhythmic accompaniment figure. The confidence of the refrain's text, "I am bound for the promised land, yes I am!" is presented in a contrasting section with syncopation in the melody and marts in the accompaniment.
