Come Over into Canaan
Author: Jacob W. Byers Hymnal: Timeless Truths #190 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: I came to Jordan's sullen stream Refrain First Line: Come over into the Canaan land Lyrics: 1 I came to Jordan’s sullen stream;
With trusting heart I there had been
Directed by my Savior’s hand,
Toward Canaan’s bright and blessed land.
Refrain:
Come over into the Canaan land,
Come over into the Canaan land,
Where figs and grapes so plenteous grow,
Where milk and honey freely flow,
Come over into the Canaan land.
2 My many sins were all forgiv’n,
My heart was clear with light from heav’n,
And yet I longed for deeper grace,
In Canaan’s blessed resting place. [Refrain]
3 I saw the death I had to die,
A death in which my soul did cry;
The fright’ning waves my heart did chill,
But I must yield, ’twas Heaven’s will. [Refrain]
4 Oh, second grace! I find it sweet!
God’s holy will is now complete:
The Father, Son, and Spirit reign;
All inward foes are surely slain. [Refrain] Scripture: Joshua 3 Tune Title: [I came to Jordan's sullen stream]

Byers Author of "Come Over into Canaan" in Timeless Truths Jacob Whistler Byers was born on March 26, 1859 in Albany, Whiteside County, Illinois to Andrew and Nancy (Whistler) Byers. His father was a farmer and a minister of a small denomination known as the River Brethren. Jacob received a basic rural education and self-taught himself to become a teacher.
