1. We are pressing t'ward the land of Canaan
Just beyond the brink of Jordan's tide;
We have left the worthless fare of Egypt
With its bondage, sin and pride,
But the land we seek must be by conquest,
Battles must be fought and victories won,
Giants must be slain and armies overthrown,
'Till before us stands not one'.

Chorus:
We will take the land, together we will stand;
"Courage, faith and work:" our song:
For the land before us reaches to the skies;
God commands us now, "Be strong!"
