O the way is long and weary, And our bleeding feet are sore; Is it far to Canaan's land? Is it far to Canaan's land? In the desert we are longing For its shelter more and more Is it far, is it far to Canaan's land? Refrain We are weary, we are weary Sadly wand'ring thro' the wilderness, And o'er the desert sand; We are weary, oh so weary, Is it far, is it far to Canaan's land? Thro' the wilderness we're foll'wing Where the stronger ones have led; Is it far to Canaan's land? Is it far to Canaan's land? Where the sand is often burning, And the ground our only bed. Is it far, is it far to Canaan's land? Refrain O how sweet would be a resting place, A safe and quiet home; Is it far to Canaan's land? Is it far to Canaan's land? Where the cruel days of bondage And of fear will never come, Is it far, is it far to Canaan's land? Refrain
