For Canaan I've started, and on I must go

1

For Canaan I've started, and on I must go,'Till all the bright glories of Eden I know;I've made no reserve, and I'm sure I'll not lack,While onward I journey, and do not draw back;and do not draw back.

2

My soul is enkindled with rapture and love,I fain would ascend to my Jesus above;But nay, I must follow in his humble track,And prove my obedience by not drawing back.

3

Then on let us press; for Jesus is near;And strengthen each other with words of good cheer;With zeal ever buoyant and courage ne'er slack,Let 's be true to our King and never draw back.
