T

C.M.

HERE is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Eternal day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.

f 2 There everlasting spring abides,
And never-fading flowers;

p Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours.

cr 3 Bright fields beyond the swelling Stand dressed in living green; [flood So to the Jews fair Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between.

p 4 But timorous mortals start and
To cross the narrow sea; [shrink
And linger, trembling on the brink,
And fear to launch away.

mf 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:

cr 6 Could we but climb where Moses And view the landscape o'er, [stood, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,

679

Should fright us from the shore.
I. Watts, 1709.

6.6.6.6.D.

mf THERE is a blessèd home Beyond this land of woe, Where trials never come, Nor tears of sorrow flow; cr Where faith is lost in sight, And patient hope is crowned, f And everlasting light

Its glory throws around. p 2 There is a Land of peace:

Good angels know it well; cr Glad songs that never cease Within its portals swell; mf Around its glorious throne

Ten thousand saints adore
Christ, with the Father One,
And Spirit, evermore.
