TO CANAAN.


soNe OF THE SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND.
Where are you going, soldiers,
With banner, gun and sword2
We're marching south to Canaan,
To battle for the Lord
What captain leads your armies
Along the rebel coastsf
The Mighty One Of Israel,
His name is Lord Of Hosts.
To Canaan, to Canaan
The Lord has led us FORTH
To blow before the heathen walls
The trumpets Of the North
What flag is this you carry
Along the sea and shore2
The same our grandsires lifted up
The same our fathers bore !
In many battles tempest
1t shed the crimson rain
What God has woven in his loom
Let no man rend in twain
To Canaan, to Canaan
The Lord has led us forth,
To plant upon the rebel towers
The banners Of the North
What troop is this that follows,
All armed with picks and spades2
These are the swarthy bOndsmen--
The iron-skin brigade
They'll pile up Freedoms breastwork,
lntJ llbCoOp OUT feDels graves
Who then will be their owner
And march them off for sayes2
To Canaan, to Canaan
The Lord has led us forth,
10 strike upon the captive's chain
The hammers of the North
What song is this you're singing2
The same that Israel sung
When Moses led the mighty choir,
And Miriam's timbrel rungl
To Canaan To Canaan
The priests and maidens cried;
To Canaan To Canaan
The peoples voice replied
To Canaan, to Canaan,
The Lord has led us forth,
To thunder through its adder dens,
The anthems of the North
When Canaan's hosts are scattered
And all her walls lie flat,
What follows next in order2
The Lord will see to that
Well break the tyrants scepter--
Wen build the peoples throne
When half the world is Freedoms
Then all the worlds our owni
10 Canaan, to Canaan,
The Lord has led us forth
To sweep the rebel threshing floors,
whirlwind from the North
