1 I’ve entered the land dearly bought by His blood,
Passed over Jordan, surrendered to God;
I’ve found His sufficiency here in this land,
Glory to Jesus forever!

Refrain:
Far, far on the other side,
I’m living across the river,
Burned are the bridges ’twixt me and the world,
Glory to Jesus forever!

2 The giants are conquered the spies said were here,
Jesus is victor, I need have no fear;
Summer in winter and joy all the year,
Glory to Jesus forever! [Refrain]

3 The manna is gone and the corn is my food,
Dead to the world and I’m living in God;
I’ve ceased saying can’t since I found that He could—
Glory to Jesus forever! [Refrain]
