On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie
There generous fruits that never fail
On trees immortal grow
There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales
With milk and honey flow
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
Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene
That rises to my sight
Sweet fields arrayed in living green
And rivers of delight
When shall I reach that happy place
And be forever blest
When shall I see my Father's face
And in His bosom rest
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

I should mention I was in Safed for seven years in the north part of Israel and this song is no exaggeration.
In fact I think it is quite accurate a description of how things were for me in Israel for the time I merited to be there.
