1 From wand’ring in the wilderness,
Go forth at God’s command
And thy inheritance possess,
The goodly Canaan land.
Refrain:
Cross over the Jordan’s tide
The waters will there divide;
Cross over, cross over,
And enter fair Canaan’s land;
Cross over, cross over,
And enter fair Canaan’s land.
2 The Shepherd kind would lead his flock
Where richest pastures grow;
And where from out the riven rock
The living waters flow. [Refrain]
3 To all the riches Canaan yields
Our loving Lord invites;
To dwell amid its fertile fields
And scale its mountain heights. [Refrain]
4 Cross Jordan’s stream of unbelief,
Your doubts and fears give o’er;
From all your wand’rings find relief,
And Canaan’s land explore. [Refrain]
