Subject: RE: Lyr Add: I Am Bound for the Land of Canaan
It's also in The American Vocalist (ca. 1848 tunebook), as 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!
