1. Head of thy church triumphant,
We joyfully adore thee;
Till thou appear,
Thy members here
Shall sing like those in glory.

About Canaan
Amos Pilsbury composed this stirring anthem for SATB choir. Sung in English, Canaan is a sacred work that draws its text from a hymn of joyful adoration and anticipation of salvation. The lyrics speak of lifting hearts and voices in praise, echoing the glory of heaven. The music would serve well to express fervent devotion and uplift the congregation in a service. Its straightforward, devotional message makes it a suitable choice for choirs looking to convey a sense of communal faith and heavenly aspiration.
