Delight in Scripture; or, The Word of God dwelling in us

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #220 (1740) Topics: Delight in Law of God; Scripture delight in it First Line: O how I love thy holy Law Lyrics: 1 O how I love thy holy Law; 'Tis daily my delight; And thence my Meditations draw Divine advice by Night. 2 My waking Eyes prevent the Day To meditate thy Word; My Soul with Longing melts away To hear thy Gospel, Lord. 3 How doth thy Word my Heart engage! How well employ my Tongue! And in my tiresome Pilgrimage, Yields me a heav'nly song. 4 Am I a Stranger or at Home, 'Tis my perpetual Feast; Not Honey dropping from the Comb So much allures the Taste. 5 No Treasures so enrich the Mind; Nor shall thy Word be sold For Loads of Silver well refin'd, Nor Heaps of choicest Gold. 6 When Nature sinks, and Spirits droop, Thy Promises of Grace Are Pillars to support my Hope, And there I write thy Praise.

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #554a (1917) Topics: Heaven Land of pure delight 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. But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shiv'ring on the brink, And fear to launch away. 3 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. Languages: English Tune Title: MATERNA
