Moses led God's children forty years he led them, 
Through the cold and through the night; 
Tho they said, "Let's turn back", Moses said, "Keep goin', 
Canaanland is just in sight." 

And there will be no sorrow there in that tomorrow, 
We will be there by and by; 
Milk and honey flowing there is where I'm going, 
Canaanland is just in sight. 

Now though we walk thru valleys, 'Tho we climb high mountains, 
We can not give up the fight; 
We must be like Moses, we must keep on going; 
Canaanland is just in sight. 

And there will be no sorrow there in that tomorrow, 
We will be there by and by; 
Milk and honey flowing there is where I'm going, 
Canaanland is just in sight.
