The Sun Is Rising In The East
Author: B. S. Ingemann Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sun is rising in the east,
It gilds the heavens wide,
And scatters light on mountain-crest,
On shore and countryside.
2 It rises from the valley bright,
Where Paradise once lay,
And bringeth life and joy and light
To all upon its way.
3 It greets us from the land afar
Where man with grace was crown'd,
And from that wondrous Morning Star
That Eastern sages found.
4 And from the East God's sun outpours
A heavenly light on earth,
A glimpse from Eden's sacred shores,
Where light and life had birth.
5 The starry hosts bow down before
The sun that passes them;
It seems so like that star of yore,
Which shone on Bethlehem.
6 Thou, Sun of Suns, from heaven come,
In Thee our praises rise
For ev'ry message from Thy home
And from Thy Paradise. Topics: Morning and Evening Used With Tune: [The sun is rising in the easth]
The Sun Is Rising In The East
There is a land of pure delight
Author: I. Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,402 hymnals 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 dressed 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 trembling on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
5 O could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy thoughts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love
With faith's illumined 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. Topics: The Last Things The Heavenly Home; The Last Things The Heavenly Home; Heaven Used With Tune: [There is a land of pure delight]
