    A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

    Joshua 17:12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

    "Canaanites in the Land"

    1. Jehovah's tribes, redeem'd by might,
    In cov'nant with Him stand,
    But still, the cursed Canaanite,
    Will dwell within their land.

    2. In God's own house they dare intrude,
    And with His saints resort;
    But in His strength they are subdued,
    And under tribute brought.

    3. What comfort, confidence, delights,
    Would Christians daily share;
    But for their in-bred Canaanites,
    Alas! they still are there.

    4. Where'er they turn within the land
    They meet the Canaanite;
    But still, led on by Jesus' hand,
    With sin and hell they fight.

    5. Almighty Joshua, make me strong,
    My Canaanites destroy;
    Give vict'ry, and the victor's song
    Shall endless years employ.
