There is a land of pure delight
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #697 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Funerals/Commemorations 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
that 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 the narrow sea,
and linger shivering 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. Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Languages: English Tune Title: BEULAH
There is a land of pure delight
There is one thing I ask of the Lord
Author: Chris O'Hara, c.1950- Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #698 (2010) Meter: Irregular Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Funerals/Commemorations First Line: The Lord is my light, my help Languages: English Tune Title: THERE IS ONE THING
There is one thing I ask of the Lord
They whose course on earth is o'er
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #699 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Funerals/Commemorations Lyrics: 1 They whose course on earth is o’er,
think they of their brethren more?
They before the throne who bow,
feel they for their brethren now?
2 We by enemies distrest,
they in paradise at rest;
we the captives, they the freed —
we and they are one indeed.
3 Those whom many a land divides,
many mountains, many tides,
have they with each other part,
fellowship of heart with heart?
4 Each to each may be unknown,
wide apart their lots be thrown;
differing tongues their lips may speak,
one be strong, and one be weak:
5 yet in sacrament and prayer
each with other hath a share;
hath a share in tear and sigh,
watch and fast and litany.
6 Saints departed even thus
hold communion still with us;
still with us, beyond the veil
praising, pleading, without fail.
7 With them still our hearts we raise,
share their work and join their praise,
rendering worship, thanks, and love,
to the Trinity above. Languages: English Tune Title: VIENNA
They whose course on earth is o'er

steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
and hearts are brave again and arms are strong.

the saints triumphant rise in bright array;
the King of glory passes on his way.

through gates of pearl stream in the countless host,
singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:

While trembling nature waits her doom,
This voice shall wake the righteous dead
"Lo, it is I; be not afraid."
