There Is a Land of Pure Delight

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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. 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.

Author: Jessie Adams Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I feel the winds of God today; Today my sail I lift, Though heavy, oft with drenching spray, And torn with many a rift; If hope but light the water’s crest, And Christ my bark will use, I’ll seek the seas at His behest, And brave another cruise. 2 It is the wind of God that dries My vain, regretful tears, Until with braver thoughts shall rise The purer, brighter years; If cast on shores of selfish ease Or pleasure I should be, Lord, let me feel Thy freshening breeze, And I’ll put back to sea. 3 If ever I forget Thy love And how that love was shown, Lift high the blood red flag above; It bears Thy name alone. Great Pilot of my onward way, Thou wilt not let me drift; I feel the winds of Go Amen.

Arise And Shine, O Zion Fair

Author: John A. Granade Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Arise and shine, O Zion fair, Behold, thy light is come! Thy glorious conquering king is near To take His exiles home. The trumpet sounding through the sky, To set poor captives free; The day of wonder now is nigh: The day of Jubilee. 2 Ye heralds, blow your trumpets loud, The earth must know her doom; Go spread the news from pole to pole, Behold, the Judge is come; Blow out the sun, burn up the earth! Consume the rolling flood; While every star shall disappear, Go turn the moon to blood. 3 Arise, ye nations under ground, Before the Judge appear; All tongues and languages shall come, Their final doom to hear! King Jesus on His dazzling throne, Ten thousand angels round; And Gabriel with a silver trump, Echoes the awful sound! 4 The glorious news of Gospel grace To sinners now is o’er; The trump in Zion now is still, And to be heard no more! The watchmen all have left their walls And with their flocks above, On Canaan’s peaceful shore they sing, And shout redeeming love. 5 Come, all ye pilgrims in the Lord, Whose hearts are joined in one, Hold up your hands with courage bold, Your race is almost run. Above the clouds the Savior sits, And smiling, bids you come; Angels will guide your happy souls To your eternal home. 6 Behold a pilgrim as he dies, With glory in his view, To Heaven he lifts his longing eyes, And bids the world adieu; While friends are weeping all around, And loth to let him go, He shouts with his expiring breath, And leaves them all below. 7 O! Christians, are you ready now, To cross that narrow flood, On Canaan’s happy shore behold, And see your smiling God? The dazzling charms of that bright world, Attracts my soul above; My tongue shall shout redeeming grace, When perfected in love. 8 Go on, my brethren in the Lord, I’m bound to meet you there; Although we tread enchanted ground, Be bold and never fear. Fight on, fight on, ye conquering souls, The land, it is in view; And when I gain fair Canaan’s shore, I hope to meet with you.

For though the earth be cloaked in night and gloom shrouds ev'ryone, yet over you the Lord will rise, with glory gleaming clear, till nations turn to seek your light and humbled kings draw near. 2 Fling wide your gates, both day and night; no more keep watch or guard. You will be called God's holy hill, the city of the Lord. No sound of strife will plague your land, nor harm besiege your ways; "Salvation" will you name your walls, and all your portals "Praise." 3 No more will you implore the sun to shed by day its light, nor will you need the changeful moon to glisten through the night. Your glory then will be your God, whose light will never cease. Rise up and shine! Your light has come to give you joy and peace. Used With Tune: DUCHY

God, help us make your glories known

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: God, help us make your glories known, your works of power and grace: and we'll convey your wonders on to each and every race, remembering how you split the sea, and showed a pathway through; the watery walls defined the way as Israelites fled their foe. Your wondrous pillar marked their road, a guide of shade and light; by day it proved a sheltering cloud, a leading fire by night. Their need for water was supplied, abundant waters fell! A rock gushed rivers by their side — a constant miracle. And manna, like a morning shower, lay thick around their feet: the corn of heaven, so light, so pure, was their angelic meat.
