Bound for Canaan

Lyrics

O when shall I see Jesus,
And reign with Him above?
And from the flowing fountain
Drink ever lasting love!

Chorus:

I’m on my way to Canaan,
To the New Jerusalem.

When shall I be delivered
From this vain world of sin?
And with my blessed Jesus
Drink endless pleasures in.

(Chorus)

But now I am a soldier,
My Captain’s gone before;
He’s given me my orders,
And bids me ne’er give o’er.

(Chorus)

His promises are faithful,
A righteous crown He’ll give,
And all His valiant soldiers
Eternally shall live.

(Chorus)

Through grace I feel determined
To conquer, tho’ I die;
And then away to glory,
On wings of love I’ll fly.

(Chorus)
