Lyrics
Verse 1
O who will come and go with me
I am bound for the land of Canaan
I'm bound fair Canaan's land to see
I am bound for the land of Canaan
Verse 2
I'll join with them who've gone before
I am bound for the land of Canaan
where sin and sorrow are no more
I am bound for the land of Canaan
Verse 3
Our songs of praise shall fill the skies;
I am bound for the land of Canaan
While higher still our joys shall rise;
I am bound for the land of Canaan
Verse 4
Then come with me, beloved friend,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
The joys to come shall never end,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
Chorus
O Canaan, bright Canaan,
I'm bound for the land of Canaan.
O Canaan, it is my happy home,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.

Scriptural Foundations
16But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.
4and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”
6For the sons of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished because they did not listen to the voice of the Lord, to whom the Lord had sworn that He would not let them see the land which the Lord had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
