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
