We're the river-crossers, Hebrews is our name; Crossed the Euphrates, idols all are slain. Entered into Canaan, left the other side; Seeking a city, which shall e'er abide. |
|
We are the Hebrews, that's our real name; We've crossed the river, we are not the same. Building God's house that He may dwell on earth, Building God's house that He may dwell on earth. |

We were bound in Egypt, building for the foe; God of the Hebrews said, "Let My people go!" We have crossed the Red Sea, reached the other side; Pharaoh, his army, perished in the tide. |
|
God of the Hebrews, speak again today; God of the Hebrews, lead us all the way. Save all Your people from this crooked age, Save all Your people from this crooked age |
| 3 |
We're released, and now we build the house of God; His tabernacle is our true abode. Forty years of oldness left in Jordan's tide, Fight we for Canaan on the kingdom side. |
|
Salvation's Captain sounds the trump of war; City by city, take we more and more, To gain His kingdom, enter into rest, To gain His kingdom, enter into rest. |

What was once God-given soon a form became; Then John the Baptist did God's word proclaim — Make another crossing, God is going on; Judaism's over; listen to My Son! |
|
Turn from the prophets, turn unto the Son; He's My Beloved, He and I are one; His Word will save you to the uttermost, His Word will save you to the uttermost. |

Now we're overcomers on the sea of glass; This final crossing will forever last. Sing the song of Moses, make the praise complete, Look! All our enemies beneath our feet. |
|
We're overcomers, that's our real name. God has His city; Satan gets the shame. God is our portion for eternity, God is our portion for eternity. |
