The Promised Land

"A land flowing with milk and honey." 

Exodus 3:8

Land Of Milk And Honey

Barb Suttie

I fled from Egypt's bondage,

I heard that help was near;

I cast my care on Jesus,

And He dispersed my fear:

I passed between the billows;

Walled up every hand,

I trusted to my Captain,

And sought the promised land.

(Refrain)

I am over, yes over

On Canaan's shore I stand;

I am over, yes, over,

In the promised land.

I sang a song of triumph

I shouted o'er and o'er;

And then pursued my journey,

For Canaan's happy shore:

The Approach To Mount Sinai

David Roberts

(1839)

I came to Sinai's mountain,

I trod the desert sand,

I drank at Horeb's fountain,

Seeking the promised land.

The spies brought back their message,

Some wept, some said, "We can";

The land was all 'twas promised,

But who would lead the van?

At last, my heart despairing,

Of entering with this band,

I cried aloud to Jesus,

To show the promised land.

The Ark Passes Over The Jordan

Jacques Joseph Tissot

(1896-1902)

Then, after weary marches,

And many a longing sigh,

I found the river crossing,

And saw the land was nigh:

The Lord looked down in mercy,

By faith I touched His hand,

I followed close beside Him,

And found the promised land.

And now my song of gladness

I'm singing day by day,

For fellowship with Jesus

Makes calm and bright my way;

I fear not for the morrow,

For His almighty hand

I know shall lead and keep me

In this, the promised land.
