On the evergreen shore

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.3 #160 (1892) 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. Refrain: On the evergreen shore, On the evergreen shore, We will meet over there, by and by; On the evergreen shore, On the evergreen shore, We will meet over there, by and by. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never with’ring flow’rs; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heav'nly land from ours. [Refrain] 3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. [Refrain] 4 Oh, could we make our doubts remove, The gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes. [Refrain] Topics: Heaven Tune Title: [There is a land of pure delight]

Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #183f (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 heavenly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood While Jordan roll'd between. 4 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.

There is a land of pure delight

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #397 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 THERE is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly 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.

There is a land of pure delight

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #462 (1920) Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-fading flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3 Bright fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews fair Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross the narrow sea; And linger, trembling on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love, With faith's illumined 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.
