Seeking the Heavenly Caanan. Heb. 13. 14; 11. 10

1 From Egypt lately come,
  Where death and darkness reign,
  We seek our new, our better home,
  Where we our rest shall gain.

2 To Canaan’s sacred bound,
  We haste with songs of joy;
  Where peace and liberty are found,
  And sweets that never cloy.

3 There sin and sorrow cease,
  And every conflict’s o’er;
  There shall we dwell in endless peace,
  And never hunger more.

4 There, in celestial strains,
  Enraptured myriads sing!
  There love in every bosom reigns,
  For Christ himself is King.

5 We soon shall join the throng
  And all their pleasure share;
  And sing the everlasting song
  With all the ransomed there.
