Come, Happy Souls, Approach Your God

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 169 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, happy souls, approach your God With new melodious songs; Come, render to Almighty grace The tribute of your tongues. 2 So strange, so boundless was the love That pitied dying men, The Father sent His equal Son To give them life again. 3 Thy hands, dear Jesus, were not armed With a revenging rod. No hard commission to perform The vengeance of a God. 4 But all was mercy, all was mild, And wrath forsook the throne, When Christ on the kind errand came, And brought salvation down. 5 Here, sinners, you may heal your wounds, And wipe your sorrows dry: Trust in the mighty Savior’s name, And you shall never die.

There Is a Land of Pure Delight

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,406 hymnals 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 with'ring flow'rs: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heav'nly 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. Amen. Topics: Last Things Heaven Used With Tune: ST. PETER
