Hymns of the Comforter ‎#39

39. Living in Canaan Land

1 So long in Egypt staying,
And in the wilderness
I heard my Savior saying,
“The Canaan land possess;”
New pastures to discover,
Led by His guiding hand,
By faith I crossed clean over,
And I’m living in Canaan land.

Refrain:
I’m over, clean over,
In Canaan land today I stand;
I’m over, clean over,
I’ve crossed the Jordan’s tide;
I’m over, clean over,
In Canaan land today I stand;
I’m over, clean over,
I’m saved and sanctified.

2 The grapes of Eschol growing
In clusters large and fine,
The milk and honey flowing,
The corn and oil and wine,
Are freely mine forever,
I take them from His hand,
And bless the gracious Giver,
While I’m living in Canaan land. [Refrain]

3 Walled cities must be taken,
Some giants must be slain,
Ere I, with faith unshaken,
The heav’nly Canaan gain.
But He who ne’er forsakes me
Enables me to stand,
And more than conqu’ror makes me,
While I’m living in Canaan land. [Refrain]

4 If you would taste the sweetness
Of saving grace each hour,
Would know the rich completeness
Of full salvation’s pow’r;
Accept the great provision
By God Almighty planned,
And ‘mid the joys elysian,
Just try living in Canaan land. [Refrain]
