Triumphant Church · Hymn 856 · C.M. & Ref

There is a land of pure delight

“Thine eyes shall… behold the land that is very far off”. Isa. 33:17

Where saints immortal reign,

Infinite day excludes the night,

And pleasures banish pain.

Refrain

We’re feeding on the living Bread,

We’re drinking at the fountain head:

And whoso drinketh, Jesus said,

Shall never, never thirst again.

What! never thirst again? No, never thirst again!

And whoso drinketh, Jesus said,

Shall never, never thirst again.

There everlasting spring abides.

And never withering flowers:

Death, like a narrow sea, divides

This heavenly land from ours

O could we make our doubts remove

Those gloomy thoughts that rise,

And see the Canaan that we love

With unbeclouded eyes

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
