Subject: RE: Lyr Add: I Am Bound for the Land of Canaan
CANAAN

1. Together let us sweetly live;
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
Together let us sweetly die,
I am bound for the land of Canaan!


O Canaan, sweet Canaan,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, it is my happy home,
I am bound for the land of Canaan!


2. The way the holy prophets went,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
The way that leads from banishment,
I am bound for the land of Canaan!

From the AMERICAN VOCALIST D. H. Mansfield (Boston, 1848 and 1849)
