this song was originally a song of the American builders of the Panama canal.
Got any rivers they say are uncrossable,
Got any mountains they say 'can't tunnel through'?
We specialize in the wholly impossible,
Doing the things they say you can't do.
published in 1914, and was "Christianized" by Eliason 1931.
Like many American hymns, its basically a drinking song that so many people knew, it was easy to transition it to the church.
