1 Do you know the language of Canaan?
Hallelujah, amen, glory;
'Tis the sweetest language e'er spoken,
Hallelujah, amen, glory!

Do you know, Do you know?
Do you know the language of Canaan?
Do you know, Do you know?
Do you know the language of Canaan?

2 When the sky is clear I am singing,
Hallelujah, amen, glory;
When my path seems drear, still 'tis ringing,
Hallelujah, amen, glory! [Refrain]

3 When my fondest hopes are all shattered,
Hallelujah, amen, glory;
Tho' from me my friends may be scattered,
Hallelujah, amen, glory! [Refrain]

4 When it seems that all must go wrong,
Hallelujah, amen, glory;
I keep sweet and just sing this song,
Hallelujah, amen, glory! [Refrain]

5 Will you not this language be learning,
Hallelujah, amen, glory;
Then your heart with love will be burning,
Hallelujah, amen, glory! [Refrain]
