Text:Living in the promised land

226. Living in the promised land

1 We have left the land of Egypt
We have crossed the Jordan wide
We are living now in Canaan
And our souls are satisfied.

Refrain:
(Living in) living in
(The land of Canaan) the land of Canaan,
Sharing in (sharing in)
its beauties grand.
(What a time) what a time
(we have together) we have together,
Living in the promised land.

2 Sinful things do not allure us
Naught can cause our hearts dismay
Living here in lovely Canaan
We are happy ev'ry day. [Refrain]

3 Joy beyond all earth's expression
With our Lord we freely share;
We will spend our days in Canaan
Where the skies are always fair. [Refrain]
