There is a Land of Pure Delight

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #350 (1901) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 drest 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 Oh, 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. Amen. Topics: Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: SOHO

My Heart is Yearning Ever

Hymnal: HOoS1901 #351 (1901) Meter: 7.6.4.4.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 My heart is yearning ever To reach a place of rest, Jerusalem, My happy home, In Thee my heart shall never By sin or grief be pressed. My heart is yearning ever To reach that city blest. 2 Within its radiant portals None ever sheds a tear. God's city bright Gives all delight; No grief nor wail of mortals Is where the Lamb is near. Within its radiant portals None ever sheds a tear. 3 Their blesséd Lord and Saviour Doth rule and govern them In peace and joy, Without alloy, For sin can enter never The new Jerusalem. Their blesséd Lord and Saviour Doth rule and govern them. 4 Behold the goal in glory, Now shining from afar: Oh, city of The God of love, Where no more earthly worry My happiness shall mar! Behold the goal in glory, Now shining from afar! 5 And even I shall conquer In Jesus' Name and might, Though weak and faint, Still as a saint, I'll in the haven anchor, Sweet haven of delight. Yea, even I shall conquer, In Jesus' Name and might. Amen. Topics: Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: I DJUPET AF MITT HJÄRTA

Jerusalem the Golden

Author: Bernard de Morlaix Hymnal: HOoS1901 #352 (1901) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest: I know not, oh, I know not, What joys await us there! What radiancy of glory, What light beyond compare! 2 And when I fain would sing them, My spirit fails and faints, And vainly would it image The assembly of the saints, They stand, those halls of Zion, Conjubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng: 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, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white! Amen. Topics: Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: EWING

Jerusalem, my Happy Home

Hymnal: HOoS1901 #353a (1901) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me! When shall my labors have an end In joy, and peace, and thee. 2 When shall these eyes thy heavenbuilt walls And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 Oh, when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where evermore the angels sing, Where sabbaths have no end? 4 There happier bowers than Eden’s bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know: Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes, I onward press to you. 5 Why should I shrink at pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay? I’ve Canaan’s goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 6 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 7 Jerusalem, my happy home! My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joy shall see. Amen. Topics: Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: MACFARREN

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Author: Lina Sandell Hymnal: HOoS1901 #354 (1901) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Thou city ever blest, Within thy portals first I find My safety, peace, and rest. Here dangers always threaten me, My days in strife are spent, And labor, sorrow, worry, grief, I find at best their strength. 2 No wonder, then, that more and more My longings do increase, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, For thee, and never cease. My lineage, too, to thee I trace, A stranger in the earth, In thee my burgher-ship I have, In thee I have my birth. 3 No wonder, then, that I do long O blessed home, for thee, Where finally I shall have rest, From sin and sorrow free; Where tears and weeping are no more, Nor death, nor pain, nor night, For former things are passed away In yonder home of light. 4 Now all for me has lost its charm Which here so much is praised, Since on the cross, through faith, I saw My Saviour, Jesus, raised. My goal is fixed, one thing I ask, Whate’er the cost may be, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Soon to arrive in thee. Amen. Topics: Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM

My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly! It will not stay with me; Far over vale and mountain, Far over field and plain, It hastes to seek its Fountain And quit this world of pain. 2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour, When wilt thou come at last? When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast. My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead me with guidance tender To heaven my fatherland. 3 O Zion, hail! bright city now unfold The gates of grace to me How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy naught, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 4 Unnumbered choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, And th'heavenly halls re-echo with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blesséd throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song.
