Sarah, take me by my arm

Tomorrow we are Canaan bound

Where westward sails the golden sun

And Hebron's hills are amber crowned


So bid your troubled heart be still

The grass, they say, is soft and green

The trees are tall and honey-filled

So, Sarah, come and walk with me


Like the stars across the heavens flung

Like water in the desert sprung

Like the grains of sand, our many sons

Oh, Sarah, fair and barren one

Come to Canaan, come


I trembled at the voice of God

A voice of love and thunder deep

With love He means to save us all

And Love has chosen you and me


Long after we are dead and gone

A thousand years our tale be sung

How faith compelled and bore us on

How barren Sarah bore a son

So come to Canaan, come


Where westward sails the golden sun

And Hebron's hills are amber crowned

Oh, Sarah, take me by my arm

Tomorrow we are Canaan bound
