I’m Abiding in Canaan Land

lyricist: Avis Christiansen, 1918
Composer: Haldor Lillenas

I’m abiding to­day in Ca­naan land

In the sun­light of God’s love;

And the Sav­ior’s face ev­er shines be­fore me

As I jour­ney to my home ab­ove.

I’m ab­id­ing in Ca­naan land!

I’m abid­ing in Ca­naan land!

Since He washed my sin away

It is glo­ry all the way

I’m abid­ing in Ca­naan land!

I’m abid­ing in Ca­naan land!

I’m abid­ing in Ca­naan land!

All my sins have been for­giv’n

And I’m on my way to Heav’n

I’m abid­ing in Ca­naan land!

’Tis a fore­taste of com­ing glo­ry yon­der

In that land be­yond the sky

Where in bliss un­told I shall ev­er wan­der

In the bless­èd home­land by and by.

Won’t you en­ter the land of peace and bless­ing

And its rap­ture with me share?

All your sin and guilt to the Lord con­fess­ing

You will have a bless­èd wel­come there.
