1 Come, children, let us sweetly sing,
We are bound for the land of Canaan;
All glory give to Christ, our King,
We are bound for the land of Canaan.

Chorus:
Oh, Canaan, bright Canaan,
We are bound for the land of Canaan;
Oh, Canaan, it is our happy home,
We are bound for the land of Canaan.

2 Happy are all good children here,
They are bound for the land of Canaan;
And soon they'll be as angels are,
They are bound for the land of Canaan. [Chorus]

3 Come, then, and join our happy band,
We are bound for the land of Canaan;
To ever dwell at Christ's right hand,
We are bound for the land of Canaan. [Chorus]

4 Then louder still our songs shall rise--
We are bound for the land of Canaan,
When we are far beyond the skies--
We are bound for the land of Canaan. [Chorus]
