Trust this helps

When Moses with Israel came to the red sea.
The Lord said have courage and leave it to me.
I will not forsake you, I will hold to your hand.
There's a way to cross over to Canaan's fair land.

In this life before us many trials we face.
We're tested and tempted to give up the race.
I hear Jesus whisper let me hold to your hand.
There's a way to cross over to Canaan's fair land.

There's a way to cross over to Canaan's fair land.
All evil surrender to the Masters command.
Just trust in Jehovah let Him hold to your hand.
There's a way to cross over to Canaan's fair land.

There is another verse.

With Jordan before them
Overflowing its banks
Old Joshua gave orders
Come stand in your ranks
The Lord goes before us
Holds the waters by hand
There's a way to cross over
to Cannan's fair land

Thanks for posting the last verse to the song. I didn't know it had one. I have always done the Jack Holcomb version of it.
