1. From wand’ring in the wilderness,
Go forth at God’s command
And thy inheritance possess,
The goodly Canaan land.
Chorus:
Cross over the Jordan’s tide, (swelling tide,)
The waters will there divide; (for thee divide;)
Cross over, cross over,
And enter fair Canaan’s land;
Cross over, cross over,
And enter fair Canaan’s land.
2. The Shepherd kind would lead his flock
Where richest pastures grow;
And where from out the riven rock
The living waters flow.
3. To all the riches Canaan yields
Our loving Lord invites;
To dwell amid its fertile fields
And scale its mountain heights.
4. Cross Jordan’s stream of unbelief,
Your doubts and fears give o’er;
From all your wand’rings find relief,
And Canaan’s land explore.
