Come Over into Canaan (Lillenas)

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.
