<TITLE>30. Par -</TITLE>L-643-260 I love Him. Let's sing that good old baptismal song, the one we was singing the first time that the Angel of the Lord there ever appeared before men in his presence. I'd seen it before, myself, but first time He ever come down. And when He come down, He--He said, "As John was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ, your message will forerun the second coming of Christ." Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people standing on the banks down there when It come down on June, 1933, at the river. And we were standing on the banks, singing:
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;
O who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.
Oh, 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.
When shall I reach this healthful place,
And be forever blest.
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in His bosom rest?
Oh, I am bound for the promised land,
Oh, I am bound for the promised land;
O who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.
All o'er 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;
O who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised...
Let's just sing that again and shake hands with somebody around you.
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.

L-644-262 Now, without a shadow of doubt, every one of you that has accepted Christ, and know that you are borned again of the Spirit, let's raise our hands now and sing it.
I am bound for the promised land,
Well, I'm bound for the promised land;
O who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.
I haven't seen this for a long time. Ladies, reach in your purse and get a handkerchief. Gentlemen, reach in your hip pocket and get your handkerchief out. Now we're going to have a wave-gift to the Lord. All right, all of us together, we're going to wave like we're going into Canaan now, wave your handkerchief. All right, now.
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,
Now, if there is someone here that hasn't made their election and calling sure, that would like to come while we sing it again, would like to pull out your handkerchief and wave with us again. The gate's open now; the tickets are free. Won't you come? Step aboard the old ship of Zion; she's going, moving out. Let's go.
I am bound for the promised land, (It won't be long.)
Oh, I am bound for the promised land;
O who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.
