We’re on the Way to Canaan’s Land

From Egypt’s cru­el bond­age fled

Obedient to our Lord’s com­mand

And by His Word and Spir­it led

We’re on the way to Ca­naan’s land!

We’re on the way

a pil­grim band;

We’re on the way to Ca­naan’s land;

Divinely guid­ed day by day

We’re on the way

we’re on the way.

Through wild­er­ness­es wide and drear

Our Lord will guide our steps aright

Behold to prove His pre­sence here

The cloud by day

the fire by night!

His power the smit­ten rock con­trols

A crys­tal stream our need sup­plies

He feeds our hun­gry

faint­ing souls

With dai­ly man­na from the skies!

In hos­tile lands we feel no fear;

No foe our on­ward march can stay;

In ev­ery con­flict He is near

Whose pre­sence cheers us on the way.

Ere long

the riv­er crossed

we’ll meet

The ran­somed host at His right hand;

And there re­ceive a wel­come sweet

From our dear Lord to Ca­naan’s land!
