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?
