There Is a Land of Pure Delight

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,424 hymnals Topics: Cast Out Fear 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-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 tim'rous mortals start and shrink to cross this narrow sea; and linger, shiv'ring, 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.
