The New Wine of Canaan

Representative Text

1 I am drinking at the fountain that will never run dry,
Drinking of the new wine of Canaan;
The Savior heard my pleading and my anxious cry,
I yielded, and the blessèd Holy Ghost came in.

Refrain:
Drinking at the fountain, daily at the fountain,
Feasting on the new wine of Canaan,
And my Savior satisfies my every longing,
For I’m dwelling in the land of Canaan.

2 Oh, the load of sin I carried has been taken away,
Now from sin I’m free Hallelujah,
While leaning on His loving arm I cannot stray;
He dwells with me, the blessèd Holy Ghost each day. [Refrain]

3 He is willing, He is waiting now to make your heart pure,
Open wide the door, bid Him enter;
Oh, hear Him, still He’s knocking, hear Him still implore;
Throw open wide the door, and He will enter in. [Refrain]
