Bright Canaan

Early American folk hymn

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.

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.

Oh, Canaan; bright Canaan!
I'm bound for the land of Canaan,
Oh, Canaan, it is my happy home,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
