Sweet Canaan 87

Alto: Wilson Marion Cooper, 1902
Lyrics: Mead’s General Selection, 1807
Meter: Long Meter Half (8,8)
O who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
I’m bound fair Canaan’s land to see,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
Chorus:
O Canaan, sweet Canaan,
I’m bound for the land of Canaan,
Sweet Canaan, ’tis my happy home;
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
I’ll join with those who’re gone before,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
Where sin and sorrow are no more,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
(Chorus)
