LYRICS

We are bound for Jacob’s Mound 

We are bound for Jacob’s Mound 

We are bound for Jacob’s Mound 

Travelers on this land

 

Rising from the vast horizon

Rising from the vast horizon

Rising from the vast horizon

Serving as our guide

 

There we’ll see the land forever

There we’ll see the land forever

There we’ll see the land forever

Standing in the sky

 

We are bound for sacred ground 

We are bound for sacred ground 

We are bound for sacred ground 

We are travelers on this land
