Together let us sweetly live.
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
Together let us sweetly die,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
O Canaan, bright Canaan,
am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, it is my happy home,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
If you get there before I do,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
Then praise the Lord, I'm coming too,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
O Canaan, bright Canaan,
am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, it is my happy home,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
Part of my friends the prize have won,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
And I'm resolved to follow on,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
O Canaan, bright Canaan,
am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, it is my happy home,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
Then come with me, beloved friend,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
The joys of heaven shall never end,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
O Canaan, bright Canaan,
am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, it is my happy home,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
Our songs of praise shall fill the skies,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
While higher still our joys shall rise,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
O Canaan, bright Canaan,
am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, it is my happy home,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
