LyicsOUR Canaan is Immanuel's ground,
We seek that promised soil;
The songs of Zion cheer our hearts
While strangers here we toil.
Oft do our eyes with joy o'erflow,
And oft are bathed in tears;
Yet nought but heaven our hopes can raise,
And nought but sin our fears;
He'll purge our mortal dross away,
Refining as we run;
But while we die to earth and sense,
Our heaven is here begun.
Fair Lebanon shall hear his voice,
And lands where Jordan flows;
With Sharon's deserts shall rejoice,
And blossom as the rose.
CHORUS.
I am bound for the promised land,
O who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.
