Land of Pure Delight

Author: Watts Appears in 1,444 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal First Line: There is a land of pure delight 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 with'ring flow'rs, And but a little space divides This heav'nly land from ours. 2. Pure is the land the saints espy, And all the region peace; No wanton lips nor envious eye Can see or taste the bliss. Those holy gates forever bar Pollution, sin, and shame; None shall obtain admittance there But foll'wers of the Lamb. 3. O could we make our doubts remove Those gloomy doubts 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 all this world's pretended good Could ever charm us more. Used With Tune: VARINA

Glorious Things

Author: John Newton Appears in 1,347 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal City of God First Line: Glorious things of thee are spoken Lyrics: 1. Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God: He whose word can not be broken Formed thee for His own abode; On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake Thy sure repose? With salvation's wall surrounded, Thou mayst smile at all thy foes. 2. See the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear and want remove; Who can faint when such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3. Round each habitation hov'ring, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a cov'ring, Showing that the Lord is near; Blest inhabitants of Zion, Washed in the Redeemer's blood; Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. 4. Saviour, if of Zion's city I, thro' grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name; Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know.
