God has set the land before us

lyricist: Adapted
Composer: Lowell Mason

God has set the land before us

And the land we will possess.

God has finally found a people

Tired of the wilderness.

Down with every weight and sin;

Let’s go up and enter in.

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Amen.

God has cleared the way before us

Through the victory of His Son;

Raised the Victor’s banner o’er us

All the battles He has won.

All that’s left for us to do

Is by faith to follow through.

It’s a land of hills and valleys

Brooks of water flowing free;

Fountains rich with living water

Streams that flow abundantly.

Brothers

joyfully we stand

In His promise

Christ the land.

God has made the fruit to grow here

Filled the land with produce sweet:

Olive oil and pomegranates

Fig trees

honey

vines and wheat.

We need nothing else besides

All we need the land provides.

We have eaten unto fullness

And with joy we bless the Lord

For the good land He has given;

Faithful to His promised Word.

Here we find there is no lack—

Never

never we’ll go back!

All we need to do is labor

Working on the land each day;

Not expecting ’manna’ blessing

Working in a normal way.

God and man cooperating

While for harvest we are waiting.

Labor thus will bring the increase

Of the land with all its worth

And the Lord will have the harvest

When He comes to reap the earth.

To provide the Lord the way

We must labor day by day.
