The lyrics: The rivers and hills of your homeland ask, “When are you coming home?” This is how you reply: “You seem so far away.”
I haven’t been home for the harvest for many years. I haven’t seen my parents for many days.
The rivers and hills of your homeland ask, “When are you coming home?” This is how you reply: “You seem so far away.”
- Come with your laughter.
Come with your Song.
Come with your sincerity.
Come with your pure heart.
Into God’s Holy Temple, find the real meaning of life.
Trusting in Jesus is the only way.
Chorus: Let us spread this good news.
Let us hear it too.
Welcome to the family,
Welcome to the family of the Love of God.
- Come with your Sisters.
Come with your Brothers too.
Come with your whole family, neighbors and your friends.
Bringing all your burdens, leave them to the Holy Spirit.
Patiently following Him, obeying His Command. (Chorus)
The lyric was translated by Mrs. Anita Ho from Xiao Min’s Hymns.
Canaan Hymn is the Sheet Music: “Love of the Cross” CD.

Dear Lord, I praise your name.
Because you have chosen me.
You have come from heaven to this sinful world and looking for me.
Dear Lord, I praise your name.
Because you have loved me.
Your great love fills entire universe even the whole wide world.
Your love has brought us salvation,
Show us how earnestly to follow God’s way.
Let all bow down to worship you.
Let all praise your name on high.
Great is God, our dear farther.
May all praise be to you.
You have lifted us from miry clay.
You have lifted us from dust.
Words cannot tell of all your Love; or praise all your righteousness.
Let us all praise God’s holy name with thanks-giving from our hearts.
