Storms do not alarm me, they sometime must cease, Trials cannot harm me, for I have blessed peace; All I've left behind me, I long for no more, Better things shall find me on Canaan's shore.
Troubles do not fret me, they cannot abide, Though they may beset me, in Jesus, I will hide, All the world's commotion about me may roam, There's no stormy ocean on Canaan's shore.
I in grace abiding, am trying to stay, In the shadow hiding of Canaan's perfect day; All I trust may fail me, 'twill matter no more, Nothing can assail me on Canaan's shore.
Let those who will stay in Egypt land, I am bound for Canaan, Where milk and honey flowing, shall every need supply; All battles fought and the victory won, Peace and joy my portion, My soul shall rest on its shore by and by.
