Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,419 hymnals Topics: Christian Life The Resurrection and Life Everlasting 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 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 doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes; 6 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. Scripture: Deuteronomy 4:22 Used With Tune: MEDITATION
