New Songs of Pentecost ‎#70

70. In the Land of Canaan

1 With the hallelujah band, I am in the promised land,
Marching on, marching on;
With its honey, milk and wine, with its riches freely mine,
I am in the land of Canaan,
Marching on.

Refrain:
I am in the land of Canaan, marching on,
‘Tis the blessed land of honey, milk and wine;
“I am to the highlands bound,
And I’m seeking higher ground,”
Marching on, marching on.

2 With the hallelujah band, going forth at God’s command,
Marching on, marching on;
Leaving Jordan far behind, peace and plenty we shall find,
In the blessed land of Canaan,
Marching on. [Refrain]

3 With the hallelujah band, I will ever firmly stand,
Marching on, marching on;
With our banners flying high we will conquer tho’ we die,
I am in the land of Canaan,
Marching on. [Refrain]
