I heard God’s voice commanding,
“Go up, the land possess,”
And trusting in His grace I followed on;
From Egypt’s cruel bondage
and from the wilderness,
From Kadesh into Canaan I have gone.
’Tis good to live in Canaan,
where grapes of Eshcol grow;
’Tis good to live in Canaan,
where milk and honey flow;
’Tis good to live in Canaan
and full salvation know,
I find it’s good to live in Canaan.
The land I’m now exploring
and getting farther in,
And tenting toward
the highlands every day;
Still farther from the lowlands
of unbelief and sin,
From glory unto glory all the way.
’Tis good to live in Canaan,
where grapes of Eshcol grow;
’Tis good to live in Canaan,
where milk and honey flow;
’Tis good to live in Canaan
and full salvation know,
I find it’s good to live in Canaan.
This land of peace and plenty
is yours by faith to claim;
There’s perfect love and rest
from inbred sin;
Its mountain heights possessing
through faith in Jesus’ name,
Cross over and the vict’ry life begin.
’Tis good to live in Canaan,
where grapes of Eshcol grow;
’Tis good to live in Canaan,
where milk and honey flow;
’Tis good to live in Canaan
and full salvation know,
I find it’s good to live in Canaan.
