Living in Canaan Now

Hymnal: Gospel Herald in Song #146 (1899) First Line: I used to think that Canaan Refrain First Line: I'm living in Canaan now Lyrics: 1 I used to think that Canaan Was somewhere up on high, Where I perhaps might go Whene’er I came to die; But when I came to God, And at His cross did blow, I got salvation thro’ the blood I’m living in Canaan now. Refrain: I’m living in Canaan now, I’m living in Canaan now; I’m glad to tell, in joy I dwell— I’m living in Canaan now. 2 A land of peace and plenty, Where milk and honey flow, On which the Lord doth smile, As all who live there know; I do the will of God, He daily shows me how; I stood where good old Joshua stood— I’m living in Canaan now. [Refrain] 3 A life all reconcil’d; With Jesus in my soul; A heart wash’d in the blood, By Him made fully whole; From death to life divine, His seal upon my brow; He speaks the words, and it is done; The soul receives it now. [Refrain] 4 This rest to me is giv’n; Then leave the wilderness! You’ll find God’s word is true— You’re able to possess; So put away all things That God does not allow; For if your all to Christ you bring, You’re living in Canaan now.

In Canaan Now

Author: E. T. Rinehart Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4126 First Line: I used to think that Canaan Refrain First Line: Living in Canaan now Lyrics: 1 I used to think that Canaan Was somewhere up on high, Where I, perhaps, might go Whene’er I came to die. But when I came to Jesus, And at His cross did bow, I got salvation thro’ the blood, I’m living in Canaan now. Refrain: Living in Canaan now, I’m living in Canaan now; I’m doing well, I’m glad to tell, I’m living in Canaan now. 2 A land of corn and wine, Where milk and honey flow, On which the Lord doth smile, As all who live there know. I do the will of God, Because He shows me how, I stand where good and Joshua stood, I’m living in Canaan now. [Refrain] 3 A life at peace with God, With Jesus in my soul, A heart washed in the blood, By Him made fully whole. From death to life divine, Each dark spot white as snow, He speaks the word, and it is done, I’m living in Canaan now. [Refrain] 4 This rest, it is for you; Then leave the wilderness, You’ll find God’s word is true, You’re able to possess, So put away the things That He doth not allow; And if your all to Christ you bring, You’re living in Canaan now.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "I'm Living in Canaan Now" in Hymn-Songs In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
