There is a land of pure delight

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Common Praise #597 (2000) 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 that 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 the narrow sea, and linger shivering 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 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: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #898 (1986) 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, shivering 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, Could fright us from the shore. Topics: The Life to Come Languages: English

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #989 (1886) 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, And but a little space divides This heavenly land from ours. 2 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.
