O THE WAY IS LONG AND WEARY Lyrics

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

We are weary we are weary

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 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

We are weary we are weary

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 to Canaan's land

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

We are weary we are weary

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 to Canaan's land
