Gold Tried in the Fire ‎#144

144. Living In Canaan

1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels ‘round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.

Chorus:
I’m living in Canaan Now,
I’m living in Canaan Now,
The blood’s applied, I’m Sanctified
I’m living in Canaan now.

2 “Worthy the Lamb that died,” they cry,
“To be exalted thus!”
“Worthy the Lamb,” our hearts reply,
“For He was slain for us.” [Chorus]

3 Jesus is worthy to receive
Honor and pow’r divine;
And blessings, more than we can give,
Be, Lord, forever Thine! [Chorus]

4 Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift Thy glories high,
And speak Thine endless praise. [Chorus]

5 The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred Name
Of Him Who sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb! [Chorus]
