There Is a Land of Pure Delight

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,402 hymnals Lyrics: 1. There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2. There everlasting spring abides, And never withering flowers: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heav’nly land from ours. 3. Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4. But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shivering on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5. O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! 6. Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

Wilt Thou not hear us while we raise, In sweet accord of solemn praise, The voices that have mingled long In joyous flow of mirth and song? 3. For all the blessings life has brought, For all its sorrowing hours have taught, For all we mourn, for all we keep, The hands we clasp, the loved that sleep. 4. The noontide sunshine of the past, These brief, bright moments fading fast, The stars that gild our darkening years, The twilight ray from holier spheres. 5. We thank Thee, Father; let Thy grace Our narrowing circle still embrace, Thy mercy shed its heavenly store, Thy peace be with us evermore. Used With Tune: HOLLEY

Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not deplore thee, Though sorrows and darkness encompass the tomb; The Savior has passed through its portal before thee, And the lamp of His love is thy guide through the gloom. 2. Thou art gone to the grave, we no longer behold thee, Nor tread the rough path of the world by thy side; But the wide arms of mercy are spread to enfold thee, And sinners may hope, since the Sinless has died. 3. Thou art gone to the grave, and, its mansion forsaking, Perhaps thy tried spirit in doubt lingered long; But the sunshine of Heaven beamed bright on thy waking, And the song which thou heard’st was the seraphims’ song. 4. Thou art gone to the grave, but ’twere wrong to deplore thee, When God was thy ransom, thy guardian, thy guide; He gave thee, and took thee, and soon will restore thee, Where death has no sting, since the Savior hath died.

Through Him the first fond prayers are said Our lips of childhood frame; The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with His name. 5.
