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.
