Lord what a wretched land is this

Hymnal: A Collection of Spiritual Songs and Hymns #LII (1801) Lyrics: 1 Lord what a wretched land is this, That yields us no supply? No cheering fruits, no wholesome trees, Nor streams of living joy. 2 But pricking thorns thro' all the ground, And mortal poisons grow; And all the rivers that are found, With dangerous waters flow. 3 Yet the dear path to thine abode Lies thro' this horrid land; Lord! we would keep the heav'nly road, And run at thy command. 4 Our souls shall tread the desart through With undiverted feet; And faith and flaming zeal subdue The terrors that we meet. 5 A thousand savage beasts of prey Around the forest roam; But Judah's lion guards the way, And guides the strangers home. 6 Long nights and darkness dwell below, With scarce a twinkling ray; But the bright world to which we go Is everlasting day. 7 By glimm'ring hopes and gloomy fears We trace the sacred road; Thro' dismal deeps and dang'rous snares We make our way to God. 8 Our journey is a thorny maze, But we march upward still; Forget these troubles of the ways, And reach at Zion's hill. 9 See the kind angels at the gates, Inviting us to come; There Jesus the fore-runner waits, To welcome trav'llers home. 10 There on a green and flow'ry mount Our weary souls shall sit; And with transporting joys recount The labours of our feet. 11 No vain discourse shall fill our tongue, Nor trifles vex our ear; Infinite grace shall be our song, And God rejoice to hear. 12 Eternal glories to the king That brought us safely through; Our tongues shall never cease to sing, And endless praise renew.

Lord! what a wretched Land is this

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LIII (1766) Lyrics: 1 Lord! what a wretched Land is this, That yields us no Supply; No chearing Fruits, no wholesome Trees, Nor Streams of living Joy. 2 But pricking Thorns through all the Ground, And mortal Poisons grow, And all the Rivers that are found, With dang'rous Waters flow. 3 Yet the dear Path to thine Abode Lies through this horrid Land, Lord! we would keep the heav'nly Road, And run at thy Command. [4 Our Souls shall tread the Desart through With undiverted Feet; And Faith and flaming Zeal subdue The Terrors that we meet.] [5 A thousand savage Beasts of Prey Around the Forest roam, But Judah's Lion guards the Way, And guides the Strangers Home.] [6 Long Nights and Darkness dwell below, With scarce a twinkling Ray; But the bright World to which we go Is everlasting Day.] [7 By glimmering Hopes and gloomy Fears We trace the sacred Road; Thro' dismal Deeps and dang'rous Snares We make our Way to God.] 8 Our Journey is a thorny Maze, But we march upward still, Forget these Troubles of the Ways, And reach at Sion's Hill. [9 See the kind Angels at the Gates, Inviting us to come; There Jesus the Fore-runner waits To welcome Trav'lers Home.] 10 There on a green and flow'ry Mount Our weary Souls shall sit, And with transporting Joys recount The Labours of our Feet. [11 No vain Discourse shall fill our Tongue, Nor Trifles vex our Ear, Infinite Grace shall be our Song, And God rejoice to hear.] 12 Eternal Glories to the King That brought us safely through; Our Tongue shall never cease to sing, And endless Praise renew.
