I have left the land of bondage with its earthly treasures
I`ve journeyed to the place where there is love on every hand
I`ve exchanged the land of heartaches for the land of pleasure
I`m camping, I`m camping, in Canaan`s happy land
Every day I`m camping (camping) in the land of Canaan (Canaan)
And in rapture I survey its wondrous beauty grand (Oh, Glory)
Glory, hallelujah (I have) found the land of promise
(And I`m) camping, I`m camping, in Canaan`s happy land
Out of Egypt I have traveled through the darkness dreary
Far over hills and valleys and across the desert sands
Thoughts of land that`s safe and homeward I shall not go weary
I`m camping, I`m camping, in Canaan`s happy land
Yes I`ve reached the land of promise with the saints of glory
My journey ended in a place so lovely and so grand
I`ve been led by Jesus to this blessed land of story
I`m camping, I`m camping, in Canaan`s happy land
