The Joy Bells of Canaan or Burning Bush Songs No. 2 ‎#123

123. God’s Love Shineth More and More

1 In this Canaan I have found,
Jesus leads me round by round;
God’s love shineth more and more;
And for Jesus I shall stand
And contend for all the land;
God’s love shineth more and more.

Refrain:
God’s love shineth more and more,
God’s love shineth more and more;
While this journey I pursue,
Jesus guides and leads me thro’;
God’s love shineth more and more.

2 In this holy, happy land
I am in His gracious hand;
God’s love shineth more and more;
As I pray, and shout, and sing,
Free salvation it doth bring;
God’s love shineth more and more. [Refrain]

3 In this bright and happy land,
Where our fathers used to stand,
God’s love shineth more and more,
This, the land of corn and wine,
All its riches here are mine;
God’s love shineth more and more. [Refrain]

4 Oh, praise God, in Jesus’ name
I will live and die the same;
God’s love shineth more and more;
Heights I’m gaining ev’ry day
While I journey on the way;
God’s love shineth more and more. [Refrain]

5 I am not afraid to die;
In Christ’s name my soul shall fly;
God’s love shineth more and more;
Up to Heaven I shall soar,
Praise His name forevermore;
God’s love shineth more and more. [Refrain]
