Why wan­der in the wild­er­ness, O faint­ing soul?
Come ov­er in­to Ca­naan land;
By faith cross ov­er Jor­dan tho’ the waves may roll,
Come over in­to Ca­naan land.

Refrain

Come ov­er in­to Ca­naan land,
Come ov­er in­to Canaan land;
Where the grapes of Es­chol grow,
Where the milk and ho­ney flow,
Come ov­er in­to Ca­naan land.

Its sun-kissed mount­ains rise above the val­ley fair,
Come ov­er in­to Ca­naan land;
And luscious fruits delectable grow ev­ery­where,
Come ov­er in­to Ca­naan land.

Refrain

Sweet songs of tri­umph ring with­in its bor­ders bright,
Come ov­er in­to Ca­naan land;
No burn­ing sands, but foun­tains spark­ling with de­light,
Come ov­er in­to Ca­naan land.

Refrain

This charm­ing land of Canaan is a land of love,
Come ov­er in­to Ca­naan land;
And thro’ it we must pass to reach our home above,
Come ov­er in­to Ca­naan land.
