New Songs of Pentecost No. 3 ‎#45

45. Since I Came Into Canaan

1 I am living under grace,
‘Tis a happy, holy place,
Since I came into Canaan land;
‘Tis a country of delight,
Here I walk in garments white,
Since I came into Canaan land.

Refrain:
Since I came, into Canaan,
Since I came into Canaan land,
Peace is mine,
Joy divine,
Since I came into Canaan land.

2 ‘Tis a charming, holy land,
Free from drought and burning sand,
‘Tis the glorious Canaan land;
Fruits are growing ev’rywhere,
In this place beyond compare,
‘Tis the beautiful Canaan land. [Refrain]

3 What a pleasure here is mine,
Feasting on the milk and wine,
Since I came into Canaan land;
Drinking of the fount am I,
Fountain that shall not run dry,
Since I came into Canaan land. [Refrain]

4 I can hear the angels sing,
I’ve a vision of my King,
Since I came into Canaan land;
I am near the throne of love,
Nearer to my home above,
Since I came into Canaan land. [Refrain]
