Oh, Canaan, bright Canaan

Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #78a (1870) First Line: Come, children, let us sweetly sing Lyrics: 1 Come, children, let us sweetly sing, We are bound for the land of Canaan; All glory give to Christ, our King, We are bound for the land of Canaan. Chorus: Oh, Canaan, bright Canaan, We are bound for the land of Canaan; Oh, Canaan, it is our happy home, We are bound for the land of Canaan. 2 Happy are all good children here, They are bound for the land of Canaan; And soon they'll be as angels are, They are bound for the land of Canaan. [Chorus] 3 Come, then, and join our happy band, We are bound for the land of Canaan; To ever dwell at Christ's right hand, We are bound for the land of Canaan. [Chorus] 4 Then louder still our songs shall rise-- We are bound for the land of Canaan, When we are far beyond the skies-- We are bound for the land of Canaan. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Come, children, let us sweetly sing]
