Friendly persuasion methodist church hymn
What was the hymn that was sung so joyfully in the methodist church in the movie friendly persuasion?
Possibly thee i love by pat Boone ?
shareAfter listening several times I believe the words are the last several verses of this http://www.digitalsongsandhymns.com/songs/8166 sung to a different tune.
Here are the words:
1 On River Jordan's banks I stand,
and cast a wishful eye
Upon the fair and happy land
where my possessions lie.
Refrain:
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.
2 There generous fruits that never fail
on trees immortal grow.
There rocks and hills and brooks and vales
with milk and honey flow. [Refrain]
3 All o'er those wide extended plains
shines one eternal day.
There God, the Sun, forever reigns,
and scatters night away. [Refrain]
4 When I shall reach that happy place,
and be forever blessed?
When shall I see my Maker's face,
when in God's bosom rest? [Refrain]
5 Filled with delight, my raptured soul
can here no longer stay.
Though Jordan's waves around me roll,
fearless I'll sail away. [Refrain]
If you look at the tune included in the link, it's completely different, and if the version used in the movie had a refrain they didn't include it.

Found what I think is a full recording of the song with the tune used in the movie, but now can't compare, as the movie has been removed from YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDn7hQGjQjY
