Subject: ADD: On Canaan's Happy Shore
ON CANAAN'S HAPPY SHORE Sung by Sisters, Brothers and Chorus Revival Hymn Book
Sisters Say, brothers, will you meet us? Say, brothers, will you meet us? Say, brothers, will you meet us, On Canaan's happy shore? Brothers By the grace of God we'll meet you! By the grace of God we'll meet you! By the grace of God we'll meet you, Where parting is no more! Chorus Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! For ever, evermore! Sisters We, a little band, before Thee, Jesus! Lord of all, adore Thee; Soon we'll follow Thee to glory, On Canaan's happy shore. Brothers Pilgrims here we are and weary; Dark the road has been, and dreary; Daylight dawns, and brings us near Thee, To Canaan's happy shore. Sisters When we see the river swelling, Jesus! every fear repelling, Show us then our Father's dwelling On Canaan's happy shore. Brothers Thou hast passed on before us; To Thine image, Lord, restore us. Death shall never triumph o'er us On Canaan's happy shore. Brothers Say, sisters, will you meet us On Canaan's happy shore? Sisters By the grace of God we'll meet you, Where parting is no more, etc. etc.
