336. Egypt and Canaan

1. Almighty God, we cry to thee:
From Egypt's bondage set us free,
And lead us through the wilderness,
To Canaan's land, the land of peace

2. Be thou our guard by night and day
Amidst the dangers of the way;
Let heavenly manna crown our board,
The flinty rock its streams afford.

3. May we obey thy righteous laws,
Defend thy truth, maintain thy cause
And show in thought, in word and deed
That we are Abraham's chosen seed.

4. Then shall the Lord delight to bless,
And grant us his divine increase;
Shall lead us to the land above,
Where we shall feast upon his love.
