We've enlisted in the war

1 We've enlisted in the war, but 'tis not of flesh and blood,
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
We are fighting for a crown in the kingdom of our God,
Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Chorus:
Canaan, bright Canaan,
We're marching to the happy land of Canaan.
Canaan, bright Canaan,
We're marching to the happy land of Canaan.

2 The weapons of our warfare are sent us from above,
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
We can not fail to conquer with Faith and Love,
Glory, glory. hallelujah! [Chorus]

3 Our foes are fierce and strong, but our strength is in the Lord,
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
And the vict'ry we shall win, trusting ever in his word,
Glory, glory, hallelujah! [Chorus]

4 Then we'll answer ev'ry order, and trust for ev'ry grace,
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Till our Leader shall appear, and we see him face to face,
Glory, glory, hallelujah! [Chorus]
