verse 1 

D              G     D 
Sarah, take me by my arm 
D                G      A 
Tomorrow we are Canaan bound 
      Bm        A        D      G 
Where westward sails the golden sun 
    D         G        A      D 
And Hebron's hills are amber crowned 

verse 2 

   D                 G        D 
So bid your troubled heart be still 
D                       G        A 
The grass, they say, is soft and green 
    Bm        A        D      G 
The trees are tall and honey-filled 
     D     G         A        D         A 
So, Sarah, come and walk with me 

 
         Bm       A         D      G 
Like the stars across the heavens flung 
     D             G      A     
Like water in the desert sprung 
           Bm         A       D     G  
Like the grains of sand, our many sons 
    D       G       A       Bm  
Oh, Sarah, fair and barren one 
G        A       D 
Come to Canaan, come 

verse 3 

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
