There is a land of pure delight

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #583 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Life Everlasting 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 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!

A pilgrim and a stranger

Author: Jane Borthwick; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #517a (1917) Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger, I journey here below; Far distant is my country, The house to which I go. Here I must toil and travail, Oft weary and oppressed, But there my God shall lead me To everlasting rest. 2 There still my thoughts are dwelling, 'Tis there I long to be; Come, Lord, and call Thy servant To blessedness with Thee. Come, bid my toils be ended, Let all my wanderings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To the sweet home of peace. 3 There I shall dwell for ever, No more a stranger guest, With all Thy blood-bought children In everlasting rest,-- The pilgrim toils forgotten, The pilgrim conflicts o'er, All earthly griefs behind us, Eternal joys before! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN
