canaan bound

sarah

take me by my arm

tomorrow we are canaan bound

where westward sails the golden sun

and hebron's hills are amber crowned

so bid your troubled heart be still

the grass

they say

is soft and green

the trees are tall and honey-filled

so

sarah

come and walk with me

like the stars across the heavens flung

like water in the desert sprung

like the grains of sand

our many sons

oh

sarah

fair and barren one

come to canaan

come

i trembled at the voice of god

a voice of love and thunder deep

with love he means to save us all

and love has chosen you and me

long after we are dead and gone

a thousand years our tale be sung

how faith compelled and bore us on

how barren sarah bore a son

so come to canaan

come

where westward sails the golden sun

and hebron's hills are amber crowned

oh

sarah

take me by my arm

tomorrow we are canaan bound
