Millennial Harp

The Pilgrim’s Lot

1.
How happy is the pilgrim’s lot,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
How free from ev’ry anxious thought,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.
O Canaan! bright Canaan!
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, it is my happy home,
I am bound for the land of Canaan. MILHA 59.1

2.
Nothing on earth I call my own,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
A stranger to the world unknown,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, etc. MILHA 59.2

3.
I trample on the whole delight,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
And seek a city out of sight,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, etc. MILHA 59.3

4.
There is my house and portion fair,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
My treasure and my heart are there,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, etc. MILHA 59.4

5.
For me my elder brethren stay,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
And angels beckon me away,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, etc. MILHA 59.5
