Canaan.

By Eliza H. Morton

O LAND of ancient story! Thy beauties often told, Blest home of priest and prophet, In splendor thou hast rolled.
Jesus, our great Redeemer, Upon thy hills did stand, His presence sanctified them, And made them "holy land."
He taught within thy cities, And roamed thy valleys o'er; He walked upon thy waters, And hushed their angry roar.
He suffered deepest sorrow, And bitter agony, Then gave his life for sinners, Upon Mount Calvery.
But ah! he rose in glory, And triumphed o'er the grave. Jesus now has the power The vilest wretch to save.
Oh, land made sacred ever, Type of the world to come, When Israel will be gathered, To an eternal home.
