Author: Mrs. A. R. Cousin Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #336 (1929) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.5 Lyrics: 1. The sands of time are sinking,
The dawn of heaven breaks,
The summer morn I've sighed for,
The fair sweet morn awakes;
Dark, dark hat been the midnight,
But day-spring is at hand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
2. The King there in His beauty
Without a veil is seen;
It were a well-spent journey
Tho' seven deaths lay between:
The lamb with his fair army
Doth on Mount Zion stand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
3. O 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 Emmanuel's land.
4. With mercy and with judgment
My web of time He wove,
And aye the dews of sorrow
Were lustered by His love:
I'll bless the hand that guided,
I'll bless the heart that planned,
When throned where glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land. Topics: The Future Life Death and Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: RUTHERFORD
