1. I’m looking for Canaan, the haven of rest,
Precious that eternity,
I’ll press to the mark, this my prayer and request,
Golden year of Jubilee!
CHORUS
Lord, I come to Thee – all my springs in Thee,
I have ceased from all my struggles, let me cling to Thee,
Let me ne’er draw back to the sin I hate,
For in Thee there’s grace abounding, love doth captivate!
2. The Kingdom of God is the home of the saints,
Holiness their law supreme,
In ages to come to God’s knowledge attain,
Working out His perfect scheme.
3. With brightness of sun shall the righteous then shine,
Reigning over nations saved,
Like shepherds, the law they shall ever define
From the city golden paved.
4. The martyrs do there, as the bulwarks, defend,
Watchmen at the gates do guide,
Jerusalem there doth the Bride apprehend,
God from Zion doth preside.
