"Immanuel's Land"
Author: Mrs. Anne R. Cousin Hymnal: Laudes Domini #553 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: The sands of time are sinking Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking;
The dawn of heaven breaks;
The summer morning I've sighed for,
The fair, sweet morn, awakes.
Dark, dark hath been the midnight;
But dayspring is at hand,
And glory glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
2 Oh, Christ! he is the fountain,
The deep, sweet well of love;
The streams on earth I've tasted,
More deep I'll drink above;
There to an ocean fullness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
3 With mercy and with judgment
My web of time he wove,
And aye the dews of sorrow
Were lustred by his love;
I'll bless the hand that guided,
I'll bless the heart that planned,
When throned where glory dwelleth,
In Immanuel's land. Languages: English Tune Title: RUTHERFORD

"His house of wine"
Author: Mrs. Anne R. Cousin Hymnal: Laudes Domini #554 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Oh, Christ, he is the fountain Lyrics: 1 Oh, Christ, he is the fountain,
The deep, sweet well of love!
The streams on earth I've tasted,
More deep I'll drink above:
There to an ocean fullness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
2 Oh, I am my Beloved's,
And my Beloved's mine!
He brings a poor vile sinner
Into his "house of wine!"
I stand upon his merit,
I know no other stand,
Not ev'n where glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
3 The bride eyes not her garment,
But her dear Bridegroom's face;
I will not gaze at glory,
But on my King of Grace
Not at the crown he giveth,
But on his pierced hand
The Lamb is all the glory
Of Immanuel's land. Languages: English
"His house of wine"
"No more death"
Author: William B. Tappan Hymnal: Laudes Domini #555 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: There is an hour of peaceful rest Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest,
To mourning wanderers given;
There is a joy for souls distressed;
A balm for every wounded breast;
'Tis found above in heaven.
2 There is a home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driven,
When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise, and ocean rolls,
And all is drear but heaven.
3 There faith lifts up her cheerful eye
To brighter prospects given;
And views the tempest passing by,
The evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene in heaven.
4 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
And joy supreme are given;
There rays divine disperse the gloom:
Beyond the confines of the tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven! Languages: English Tune Title: WOODLAND
"No more death"
The Happy Land
Author: Andrew Young Hymnal: Laudes Domini #556 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: There is a happy land Lyrics: 1 There is a happy land,
Far, far away,
Where saints in glory stand
Bright, bright as day.
Oh, how they sweetly sing,
"Worthy is our Saviour King,"
Loud let his praises ring,
Praise, praise for aye!
2 Come to that happy land,
Come, come away,
Why will ye doubting stand,
Why still delay?
Oh, we shall happy be,
When, from sin and sorrow free,
Lord we shall dwell with thee,
Blest, blest for aye.
3 Bright in that happy land,
Beams every eye:
Kept by a Father's hand,
Love cannot die.
Oh, then to glory run;
Be a crown and Kingdom won,
And bright, above the sun,
We'll reign for aye. Languages: English Tune Title: HAPPY LAND

The New Jerusalem
Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: Laudes Domini #557 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Jerusalem, the golden Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the golden,
With milk and honey blest!
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed;
I know not, oh, I know not,
What social joys are there,
What radiancy of glory,
What light beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng;
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David;
And there, from care released,
The song of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast:
And they who, with their Leader,
Have conquered in the fight
For ever and for ever
Are clad in robes of white. Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
The New Jerusalem
"Short toil"
Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: Laudes Domini #558 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Brief life is here our portion Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion;
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life, that knows no ending,
The tearless life, is there:
Oh, happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals, and for sinners,
A mansion with the blest!
2 And there is David's fountain,
And life in fullest glow;
And there the light is golden,
And milk and honey flow;
The light, that hath no evening,
The health, that hath no sore,
The life, that hath no ending,
But lasteth evermore.
3 There Jesus shall embrace us,
There Jesus be embraced,
That spirit's food and sunshine;
Whence earthly love is chased:
Yes! God my King and Portion,
In fullness of his grace,
We then shall see for ever,
And worship face to face. Languages: English
"Short toil"
"A City"
Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: Laudes Domini #559 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Jerusalem, the glorious! Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the glorious!
The glory of the elect,
O dear and future vision
That eager hearts expect!
Ev'n now by faith I see thee,
Ev'n here thy walls discern;
To thee my thoughts are kindled,
And strive, and pant, and yearn!
2 The Cross is all thy splendor,
The Crucified, thy praise;
His land and benediction
Thy ransomed people raise;
Jerusalem! exulting
On that secured shore,
I hope thee, wish thee, sing thee,
And love thee evermore!
3 O sweet and blessed Country!
Shall I e'er see thy face?
O sweet and blessed Country!
Shall I e'er win thy grace?
Exult, O dust and ashes!
The Lord shall be thy part;
His only, his for ever,
Thou shalt be, and thou art!

"The glory that excelleth"
Author: Charles I. Cameron Hymnal: Laudes Domini #560 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Oh, fair the gleams of glory Lyrics: 1 Oh, fair the gleams of glory,
And bright the scenes of mirth,
That lighten human story
And cheer, this weary earth;
But richer far our treasure
With whom the Spirit dwells,
Ours, ours in heavenly measure
The glory that excels.
2 The lamplight faintly gleaneth
Where shines the noonday ray;
From Jesus' face there beameth
Light of a sevenfold day;
And earth's pale lights, all faded,
The Light from heaven dispels;
But shines for aye unshaded
The glory that excels.
3 No broken cisterns need they
Who drink from living rills;
No other music heed they
Whom God's own music thrills.
Earth's precious things are tasteless,
Its boisterous mirth repels,
Where flows in measure wasteless
The glory that excels.
4 Since on our life descended
Those beams of light and love,
Our steps have heavenward tended,
Our eyes have looked above,
Till through the clouds concealing
The home where glory dwells,
Our Jesus comes revealing
The glory that excels. Languages: English
"The glory that excelleth"
On Jordan's rugged banks I stand
Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: Laudes Domini #561 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's rugged banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene,
That rises to my sight!
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight!
2 O'er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God, the Son, for ever reigns,
And scatters night away.
No chilling winds, or poisonous breath,
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
3 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be for ever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in his bosom rest?
Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Can here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless I'd launch away. Languages: English
On Jordan's rugged banks I stand
"Who are these?"
Author: Frances E. Cox Hymnal: Laudes Domini #562 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Who are these like stars appearing Lyrics: 1 Who are these like stars appearing,
These, before God's throne who stand?
Each a golden crown is wearing;
Who are all this glorious band?
Alleluia! hark they sing,
Praising loud their heavenly King.
2 These are they who have contended
For their Saviour's honor long,
Wrestling on till life was ended,
Following not the sinful throng:
These, who well the fight sustained,
Triumph by the Lamb have gained.
3 These are they whose hearts were riven,
Sore with woe and anguish tried,
Who is prayer full oft have striven
With the God they glorified;
Now, their painful conflict o'er,
God has bid them weep no more.
4 These, like priests, have watched and waited,
Offering up to Christ their will,
Soul and body consecrated,
Day and night they serve him still:
Now in God's most holy place,
Blest they stand before his face.
5 Lo, the Lamb himself now feeds them,
On Mount Sion's pastures fair;
From his central throne he leads them
By the living fountains there:
Lamb and Shepherd, Good Supreme,
Free he gives the cooling stream. Languages: English Tune Title: CAERSALEM
