1 I’m abiding to-day in Canaan land,
In the sunlight of God’s love;
And the Savior’s face ever shines before me
As I journey to my home above.

Chorus:
I’m abiding in Canaan Land!
I’m abiding in Canaan Land!
Since He washed my sin away,
It is glory all the way,
I’m abiding in Canaan Land!
I’m abiding in Canaan Land!
I’m abiding in Canaan Land!
All my sins have been forgiv’n,
And I’m on my way to heav’n,
I’m abiding in Canaan Land!

2. ’Tis a foretaste of coming glory yonder
In that Land beyond the sky,
Where in bliss untold I shall ever wander
In the blessed homeland by and by. [Chorus]

3 Won’t you enter the land of peace and blessing,
And its rapture with me share?
All your sin and guilt to the Lord confessing,
You will have a blessed welcome there. [Chorus]
