I came to Jor­dan’s sul­len stream;
With trust­ing heart I there had been
Directed by my Sav­ior’s hand,
Tow’rd Canaan’s bright and bless­èd land.

Refrain

Come ov­er in­to the Ca­naan land,
Come ov­er into the Ca­naan land,
Where figs and grapes so plen­te­ous grow,
Where milk and ho­ney free­ly flow,
Come ov­er in­to the Ca­naan land.

My ma­ny sins were all for­giv’n,
My heart was clear with light from Heav’n;
And yet I longed for deep­er grace,
In Ca­naan’s bless­èd rest­ing place.

Refrain

I saw the death I had to die,
A death in which my soul did cry;
The fright­en­ing waves my heart did chill,
But I must yield, ’twas Hea­ven’s will.

Refrain

O se­cond grace! I find it sweet!
God’s ho­ly will is now com­plete:
The Fa­ther, Son, and Spi­rit reign;
All in­ward foes are sure­ly slain.
