There Is a Land of Pure Delight
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #506 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Everlasting Life Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides,
And never-withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
2 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
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.

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, forever 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 tow'r.
3 He by himself hath sworn, I on his oath depend;
I shall, on eagles' wings upborne, to heav'n ascend,
I shall behold his face, I shall his pow'r adore,
and sing the wonders of his grace forevermore.
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 forever grow, with mercy crowned.
5 There dwells the Lord our King, the Lord our Righteousness,
triumphant o'er the world and sin, the Prince of Peace.
On Zion's sacred height his kingdom he maintains,
and glorious with his saints in light forever reigns.
6 The whole triumphant host gives thanks to God on high;
"Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!" they ever cry.
Hail Abraham's God and mine! I join the heav'nly lays;
all might and majesty are thine, and endless praise. Scripture: Jeremiah 33:16 Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI

And your eye upon the rail. [Refrain]

Spanning Jordan’s swelling tide,
You behold the Union Depot
Into which your train will glide;

“Weary pilgrim, welcome home.” [Refrain] Scripture: Hebrews 12:1 Languages: English Tune Title: LIFE'S RAILWAY

There Is a Land of Pure Delight
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #550 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Way of Salvation The Resurrection and Everlasting Life 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.

Jesus Lives, and So Shall I
Author: Christian F. Gellert; J. D. Lang Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #706 (1990) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: Resurrection and Everlasting Life Lyrics: 1 Jesus lives, and so shall I.
Death! thy sting is gone forever!
He who deigned for me to die,
lives, the bands of death to sever.
He shall raise me from the dust:
Jesus is my hope and trust.
2 Jesus lives, and reigns supreme;
and, his kingdom still remaining,
I shall also be with him,
ever living, ever reigning.
God has promised; be it must:
Jesus is my hope and trust.
3 Jesus lives, and by his grace,
vict'ry o'er my passions giving,
I will cleanse my heart and ways,
ever to his glory living.
Me he raises from the dust:
Jesus is my hope and trust.
4 Jesus lives! I know full well
naught from him my heart can sever,
life nor death nor pow'rs of hell,
joy nor grief, henceforth forever.
None of all his saints is lost:
Jesus is my hope and trust.
5 Jesus lives and death is now
but my entrance into glory.
Courage, then, my soul, for thou
hast a crown of life before thee;
thou shalt find thy hopes were just:
Jesus is the Christian's trust.

not a shadow, not a sigh. [Refrain]

through this wilderness below,
guide my feet in peaceful ways,
turn my midnights into days;
when in the darkness I would grope,
faith always sees a star of hope,
and soon from all life's grief and danger,
I shall be free some day.
Refrain:
I do not know how long 'twill be,
nor what the future holds for me,
but this I know, if Jesus leads me,
I shall get home some day.
2 Oftentimes my sky is clear,
joy abounds without a tear,
though a day so bright begun,
clouds may hide tomorrow's sun.
There'll be a day that's always bright,
a day that never yields to night,
and in its light the streets of glory
I shall behold some day. [Refrain]
3 Harder yet may be the fight,
right may often yield to might,
wickedness awhile may reign,
Satan's cause may seem to gain;
there is a God that rules above,
with hand of pow'r and heart of love,
if I am right, he'll fight my battle,
I shall have peace some day.
4 Burdens now may crush me down,
disappointments all around,
troubles speak in mournful sigh,
sorrow through a tear-stained eye;
there is a world where pleasure reigns,
no mourning soul shall roam its plains,
and to that land of peace and glory
I want to go some day. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: SOMEDAY
