Land of Pure Delight

Author: Watts Appears in 1,427 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal First Line: There is a land of pure delight 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 with'ring flow'rs, And but a little space divides This heav'nly land from ours. 2. Pure is the land the saints espy, And all the region peace; No wanton lips nor envious eye Can see or taste the bliss. Those holy gates forever bar Pollution, sin, and shame; None shall obtain admittance there But foll'wers of the Lamb. 3. 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.

O, that home of the soul! in my visions and dreams Its bright, jasper walls I can see, Till I fancy but thinly the vail intervenes Between the fair city and me, Between the fair city and me; Till I fancy but thinly the vail intervenes Between the fair city and me. 3. That unchangeable home is for you and for me, Where Jesus of Nazareth stand; The King of all kingdoms forever, is he, And He holdeth our crowns in His hands, And He holdeth our crowns in His hands; The King of all kingdoms forever, is He, And He holdeth our crowns in His hands. 4. O, how sweet it will be in that beautiful land, So free from all sorrow and pain; With song on our lips and with harps in our hands, To meet one another again! To meet one another again! With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands, To meet one another again. Used With Tune: [I will sing you a song of that beautiful land]

How Long?

So long hast thou now tarried, Few thy return believe. Immersed in sloth and folly, Thy servants, Lord, we see; And few of us stand ready With joy to welcome thee. 3 O, wake thy slumb'ring people; Send forth the solemn cry; Let all the saints repeat it, "The Saviour draweth nigh!" May all our lamps be burning, Our loins well girded be, Each longing heart preparing With joy thy face to see. Used With Tune: WEBB
