There is a land of pure delight
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #583 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ 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-withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This 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 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!

There is a land of pure delight
A pilgrim and a stranger
Author: Jane Borthwick; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #517a (1917) Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger,
I journey here below;
Far distant is my country,
The house to which I go.
Here I must toil and travail,
Oft weary and oppressed,
But there my God shall lead me
To everlasting rest.
2 There still my thoughts are dwelling,
'Tis there I long to be;
Come, Lord, and call Thy servant
To blessedness with Thee.
Come, bid my toils be ended,
Let all my wanderings cease;
Call from the wayside lodging
To the sweet home of peace.
3 There I shall dwell for ever,
No more a stranger guest,
With all Thy blood-bought children
In everlasting rest,--
The pilgrim toils forgotten,
The pilgrim conflicts o'er,
All earthly griefs behind us,
Eternal joys before!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN

The God of Abraham praise
Author: Thomas Olivers Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #32 (1961) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Topics: Resurrection and Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love:
Jehovah! great I AM!
By earth and heav'n confessed;
I bow and bless the sacred Name,
For ever blest.
2 The God of Abraham praise,
At whose supreme command
From earth I rise, and seek the joys
At his right hand:
I all on earth forsake,
Its wisdom, fame, and pow'r;
And him my only portion make,
My Shield and Tower.
3 He by himself hath sworn,
I on his oath depend;
I shall, on eagle's wings upborne,
To heav'n ascend:
I shall behold his face,
I shall his pow'r adore,
And sing the wonders of his grace
For evermore.
4 The goodly land I see,
With peace and plenty blest,
A land of sacred liberty
And endless rest;
There milk and honey flow,
And oil and wine abound,
And trees of life for ever grow,
With mercy crowned.
5 There dwells the Lord our King,
The Lord our Righteousness;
Triumphant over the world and sin,
The Prince of Peace
On Zion's sacred height
His kingdom still maintains,
And glorious with his saints in light
For ever reigns.
6 The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high;
"Hail Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!"
They ever cry:
Hail, Abraham's God and mine!
I join the heavenly lays;
All might and majesty are thine,
And endless praise.
Amen. Scripture: Jeremiah 33:16 Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI

O God, the Rock of Ages
Author: Edward Henry Bickersteth, 1825 - 1906 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #176a (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 O God, the Rock of Ages,
Who evermore hast been,
What time the tempest rages,
Our dwelling place serene;
Before thy first creations,
O Lord, the same as now,
To endless generations
The everlasting Thou. A-men.
2 Our years are like the shadows
On sunny hills that lie,
Or grasses in the meadows
That blossom but to die;
A sleep, a dream, a story
By strangers quickly told,
An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old.
3 O thou who canst not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale,
Teach us aright to number
Our years before they fail;
On us thy mercy lighten,
On us thy goodness rest,
And let thy Spirit brighten
The hearts thyself hast blessed.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MIRIAM

Jesus, Your Blood and Righteousness
Author: Nicolaus L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-60; John Wesley, 1703-91 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #362 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 Jesus, your blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
Mid flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 Bold shall I stand in that great day,
Cleansed and redeemed, no debt to pay;
For by your cross, absolved I am
From sin and guilt, from fear and shame.
3 Lord, I believe your precious blood,
Which at the mercy seat of God
Pleads for the captives' liberty,
Was also shed in love for me.
4 Lord, I believe, were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
You have for all a ransom paid,
For all a full atonement made.
5 When from the dust of death I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies,
This then shall be my only plea:
Christ Jesus lived and died for me.
6 Then shall I praise you and adore
Your blessed name forevermore,
Who once, for me and all you made,
An everlasting ransom paid. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CRISPIN
Jesus, Your Blood and Righteousness
