131. Canaan

1 Come, children let us sweetly sing,
We are bound for the land of Canaan;
All glory give to Christ our King,
We are bound for the land of Canaan.

Chorus:
O Canaan, bright Canaan,
We are bound for the land of Canaan;
O Canaan, it is my happy home,
We are bound for the land of Canaan.

2 Come, then, and join our happy band,
We are bound for the land of Canaan;
To ever dwell at Christ's right hand,
We are bound for the land of Canaan. [Chorus]

3 Then louder still our songs shall rise--
We are bound for the land of Canaan,
When we are far beyond the skies--
We are bound for the land of Canaan. [Chorus]
