Tune:BOUND FOR THE LAND OF CANAAN

1141. Together let us sweetly live

1 Together let us sweetly live;
I am bound for the land of Canaan:
Together love to Jesus give;
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
O Canaan, bright Canaan,
I am bound for the land of Canaan;
O Canaan, it is my happy home;
I am bound for the land of Canaan.

2 Together let us watch and pray;
I am bound for the land of Canaan:
And wait redemption's joyous day;
I am bound for the land of Canaan.

3 Our songs of praise shall fill the skies;
I am bound for the land of Canaan;
While higher still our joys shall rise;
I am bound for the land of Canaan.

4 Then come with me, beloved friend;
I am bound for the land of Canaan:
The joys to come shall never end;
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
