(I am gaining ground) Some happy day (some happy day) With all the ransomed I???ll stand And sing His praise way over in Canaan???s happy land (happy land) Oh the land of rest eternal where the living waters flow Ev???ry day I???m one day nearer to its portals, this I know. Some sweet morning I???ll be singing ???Glory, glory??? to the Lamb For I am bound for the land of Canaan yes I am (yes I am) Repeat Chorus (x2)
