The Border Land of Canaan

Verse 1

When I sought the ear of the Strong to save, How He smil'd on me and my sins forgave; Now my faith clings fast to my Saviour’s hand, And I walk with Him on the Border Land.

Chorus

On the Border Land of Canaan, On the Border Land of Canaan, Blessed Border Land of Canaan; Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

Verse 2

On the Border Land there are songs that rise, There are scenes that burst on my raptured eyes, Till my heart and soul with delight expand, While I walk with Him on the Border Land.

Verse 3

There is more to see, there is more to know, For the way grows bright as I onward go; There are distant views of the golden strand, That my Saviour gives on the Border Land.

Verse 4

When I cross with Him over Jordan’s tide, And behold His face on the other side, With a shout of joy I will bless the hand That was still my Guide on the Border Land.
