There is a land of pure delight

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 1,401 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 2 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shiv'ring on the brink, And fear to launch away. 3 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! 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. Topics: Canaan, the heavenly; Heaven Glory of; Heaven Joys of; Heaven Land of pure delight; The Christian Life Time, Death, Eternity; Joy In Heaven Used With Tune: NORSEMAN

Meter: 8.6.8.6 with refrain Appears in 54 hymnals Refrain First Line: I need no other argument Lyrics: 1 My faith has found a resting place, not in device nor creed; I trust the ever-living One, his wounds for me shall plead. Refrain: I need no other argument, I need no other plea; It is enough that Jesus died, and that he died for me. 2 Enough for me that Jesus saves, this ends my fear and doubt; a sinful soul, I come to him, he’ll never cast me out. [Refrain] 3 My heart is leaning on the Word, the written Word of God, salvation by my Savior’s name, salvation through his blood. [Refrain] 4 My great Physician heals the sick, the lost he came to save; for me his precious blood he shed, for me his life he gave.

Go, Tell The Nations Christ Is King

Author: Priscilla J. Owens Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go, tell the nations Christ is king, His hands the world uphold; He guides each planet’s shining ring, And spreads the cloud’s dark fold; Go, cast the false gods in the dust, The idols trample down, And place in Him your only trust, For Jesus wears the crown. 2 Go, tell the nations of the blood On Calv’ry freely spilt, The healing streams, the precious flood, To wash away their guilt. Tell them to trust no human rites, That earthly gold is dross; And yet to pardon God delights, Since Jesus bore the cross. 3 Go, tell the nations of the hope, The joy by Jesus giv’n, And bid the darkened eyes look up, Beyond the stars, to Heav’n. Oh, let your hearts with love o’erflow, Cross o’er the heaving tide, Till all the lands of earth shall know The Crowned, once Crucified.

O Shepherd of the nameless fold, The blessèd Church to be, Our hearts with love and longing turn To find their rest in Thee; Thy kingdom come, its heav’nly walls Unseen around us rise, And deep in loving human hearts Its broad foundations rise. 2. O holy kingdom, happy fold, The blessèd Church to be, Our hearts in love and worship turn To find themselves in thee! Thy bounds are known to God alone, For they are set above; The length, the breadth, the height are one, And measured by His love. Used With Tune: LANDÅS
