'Tis Good to Live in Canaan

Verse 1

I heard God’s voice commanding, “Go up, the land possess,” And trusting in His grace I followed on; From Egypt’s cruel bondage and from the wilderness, From Kadesh into Canaan I have gone.

Chorus

’Tis good to live in Canaan, where grapes of Eshcol grow; ’Tis good to live in Canaan, where milk and honey flow; ’Tis good to live in Canaan and full salvation know, I find it’s good to live in Canaan.

Verse 2

The land I’m now exploring and getting farther in, And tenting toward the highlands every day; Still farther from the lowlands of unbelief and sin, From glory unto glory all the way.

Verse 3

This land of peace and plenty is yours by faith to claim; There’s perfect love and rest from inbred sin; Its mountain heights possessing through faith in Jesus’ name, Cross over and the vict’ry life begin.
