What hymnal, oldhippie? c. 1750-1875 is meaningless; no spirituals collected in the 18th c., and nearly all references post-1850.

I believe "Bound for Canaan Land," posted by Azizi, above, is different from the spiritual "Boun' for Canaan Land," McIlhenny, 1933, "Befo' de War Spirituals," but I don't have access to this rare book. It may be the inspiration for several of these songs.

Other hymns whose contents or titles are similar but are unrelated to the songs here:
"To Canaan's Land I'm On My Way," by William N. Golden, 1914
"On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand," Stennett, 1787.
"I'm Abiding in Canaan Land" Christiansen and Lillenas, 1818
"There Is a Land of Pure Delight," Isaac Watts, 1707 (verses speak of Canaan).

To add to the collection:

On My Way

"Weeping Pilgrim" sung by Natalie Merchant seems based on "Bound for Canaan Land,"

Lyr. Add: WEEPING PILGRIM
Natalie Merchant, arr. from trad.

Well I weep and moan
And I move slowly on

Bound for Canaan Land.

If you see them sister
Please tell them
I'm a poor mourning pilgrim
Bound for Canaan land.

Well I weep and I moan
