There Is a Land of Pure Delight

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: HOoS1926 #620 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER

Jerusalem the Golden

Author: Bernard de Morlaix Hymnal: HOoS1926 #622 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest: I know not, O I know not, What joys await us there! What radiancy of glory, What light beyond compare! 2 And when I fain would sing them, My spirit fails and faints, And vainly would it image The assembly of the saints, They stand, those hall of Zion, Conjubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng: 3 There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who, with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white!

Author: James Montgomery, (1771-1854) Hymnal: HOoS1926 #623 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home Name ever dear to me! When shall my labors have an end In joy, and peace, and thee? O when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where evermore the angels sing, Where Sabbaths have no end? 2 There happier bowers than Eden’s bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know: Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes, I onward press to you. Why should I shrink at pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay? I’ve Canaan’s goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 3 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. Jerusalem, my happy home! My soul still longs for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joys shall see. Amen. Topics: Last Things Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: MATHILDA

My weary soul in faith doth yearn for thee. I homeward look to Thee, my Lord and Saviour, To Thine abode of peace, eternally. There is on earth no peaceful rest; Our faith is weak, our souls oppressed, Our vision dim and failing, Our vision dim and failing. 2 The Lord be praised that time so swiftly flieth; God’s promise is fulfilled forevermore. Who on God’s Word and promises relieth Shall find at last the choicest wine in store. Forgotten then is all distress, Eternal peace and happiness Shall then be ours forever, Shall then be ours forever. 3 Then, keep my heart forever, O my Saviour, And let me never, Lord, from Thee depart. In joy, in pain, in sorrow, now and ever, Thou only givest solace to my heart. For when, O Lord, I am with Thee, All other comforts well may flee; With Thee I’m blest forever, With Thee I'm blest forever. Amen.

Here dangers always threaten me, My days in strife are spent, And labor, sorrow, worry, grief, That is at best their strength. 2 No wonder, then, that I do long, O blessèd home, for thee, Where I shall find a resting-place, From sin and sorrow free; Where tears and weeping are no more, Nor death, nor pain, nor night, For former things are passed away, In darkness turned to light. 3 Now all for me has lost its charm Which here so much is praised, Since on the cross, through faith, I saw My Saviour Jesus raised. My goal is fixed, one thing I ask, Whate'er the price may be, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Soon to arrive in thee. Amen. Topics: Last Things Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM

My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly! It will not stay with me; Far over vale and mountain, Far over field and plain It hastes to seek its Fountain, And quit this world of pain. 2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour, When wilt thou come at last? When fearless to my Father's love and pow'r, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead me with guidance tender, To heav'n, my fatherland. 3 O Zion, hail! bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy naught, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 4 Innumbered choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, Till heavenly halls re-echo with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blessèd throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song. Amen. Topics: Last Things Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM, DU HERRENS NYA STAD

Hark! the Sound of Holy Voices

Multitudes which none can number, Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of vict'ry in their hand. 2 They have come from tribulation, And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in the blood of Jesus; Tried they were, and firm they stood; Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 3 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite: Love and peace they taste forever, And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessèd Trinity. Amen. Topics: Last Things Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: SERAPHIM

The splendor of the noonday sun Grows pale before its light: The mighty Sun that ne'er goes down, Before whose gleam clouds never frown, Is God the Lord of hosts. 3 In heaven above, in heaven above, No tears of pain are shed: For nothing e'er shall fade or die; Life’s fullness round is spread, And, like an ocean, joy o’erflows, And with immortal mercy glows Our God the Lord of hosts! 4 In heaven above, in heaven above, God hath a joy prepared, Which mortal ear hath never heard, Nor mortal vision shared, Which never entered mortal breast, By mortal lips was ne'er expressed, O God the Lord of hosts!
