Why wander in the wilderness
O fainting soul?
Come over into Canaan land;
By faith cross over Jordan tho’ the waves may roll
Come over into Canaan land.
Come over into Canaan land
Come over into Canaan land;
Where the grapes of Eschol grow
Where the milk and honey flow
Come over into Canaan land.
Its sun-kissed mountains rise above the valley fair
Come over into Canaan land;
And luscious fruits delectable grow everywhere
Come over into Canaan land.
Sweet songs of triumph ring within its borders bright
Come over into Canaan land;
No burning sands
but fountains sparkling with delight
Come over into Canaan land.
This charming land of Canaan is a land of love
Come over into Canaan land;
And thro’ it we must pass to reach our home above
Come over into Canaan land.
