The Canaanite still in the land,
To harass, perplex, and dismay,
Brought Israel of old at a stand,
For Anak was stronger than they.
What God had designed they possest,
Supported and kept by his hand;
Yet lest on their lees they should rest.
The Canaanite dwelt in the land.
'
3. Tis thus with thine Israel on earth,
Who groan with a body of sin,
Partake of a spiritual birth,
The work of the Spirit within.
To-day with the taste of his love,
Jehovah their souls shall expand;
To-morrow he'll give them to prove,
The Canaanite still in the land.
Yet all things shall work for their good,
Afflictions, temptations, or pain;
And still through the Lamb and his blood,
Their cause they shall ever maintain.
A thorn in the flesh they shall have,
Their roving affections to win;
To teach them how Jesus can save,
And show them the depth of their sin.
Yes, down to the Jordan of death,
His foes shall the christian withstand;
And feel, when resigning his breath,
The Canaanite still in the land.
Their place of repose is on high,
(No Canaanite enters therein),
To drink of the rivers of joy,
Remote from the regions of sin.
