Lyics

Together let us sweetly live,
I am bound for the land of Canaan;
Together let us sweetly die,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
O Canaan, bright Canaan
I am bound for the land of Canaan;


If you get there before I do,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
Look out for me I'm coming too,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, &c.


I have some friends before me gone,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
And I'm resolved to travel on, 
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, &c.


Our songs of praise shall fill the skies,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
While higher still our joys theyr rise,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, &c.


Then come with me, beloved friend,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
The joys of heaven shall never end,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, &c.
