There Is a Land of Pure Delight

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,418 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. Scripture: Deuteronomy 4:22 Used With Tune: MEDITATION

The Lord is chief among my helpers; And I shall see my foes o'erthrown: Far better than in man or princes, My trust I place in God alone. 3 I shall not die, but live, declaring The works of God, who tried me sore, And chastened me; but in his mercy Not unto death hath giv'n me o'er. The gates of righteousness set open, The gate of God! I'll enter in To praise thee, Lord, who pray'r hast answered, And savedst me from all my sin. 4 The stone—O Lord, it is thy doing— The stone, the builders did despise, Is made the headstone of the corner, And it is marv'lous in our eyes. This is the day, of days most glorious, The Lord hath made; we'll joy and sing: Send now prosperity, we pray thee; And, O our God, salvation bring! Amen.

Toplady, 1740-1778 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 102 hymnals Topics: Cast Out Fear Lyrics: 1 A debtor to mercy alone, Of covenant mercy I sing; Nor fear, with thy righteousness on, My person and off'ring to bring. The terrors of law and of God With me can have nothing to do; My Saviour's obedience and blood Hide all my transgressions from view. 2 The work which his goodness began, The arm of his strength will complete; His promise is Yea and Amen, And never was forfeited yet. Things future, nor things that are now, Nor all things below or above, Can make him his purpose forgo, Or sever my soul from his love. 3 My name from the palms of his hands Eternity will not erase; Impressed on his heart it remains, In marks of indelible grace. Yes, I to the end shall endure, As sure as the earnest is giv'n; More happy, but not more secure, The glorified spirits in heav'n. Amen. Scripture: Romans 8:38-39 Used With Tune: LLANGRISTIOLUS
