There Is a Land of Pure Delight
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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.
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.
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.

There Is a Land of Pure Delight
I Feel the Winds of God Today
Author: Jessie Adams Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I feel the winds of God today;
Today my sail I lift,
Though heavy, oft with drenching spray,
And torn with many a rift;
If hope but light the water’s crest,
And Christ my bark will use,
I’ll seek the seas at His behest,
And brave another cruise.
2 It is the wind of God that dries
My vain, regretful tears,
Until with braver thoughts shall rise
The purer, brighter years;
If cast on shores of selfish ease
Or pleasure I should be,
Lord, let me feel Thy freshening breeze,
And I’ll put back to sea.
3 If ever I forget Thy love
And how that love was shown,
Lift high the blood red flag above;
It bears Thy name alone.
Great Pilot of my onward way,
Thou wilt not let me drift;
I feel the winds of Go
Amen. Topics: Dedication of Life; Invitation to Consecration; Pilgrimage, Christian; Youth Hymns Scripture: Luke 5:4 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Arise And Shine, O Zion Fair
Author: John A. Granade Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Arise and shine, O Zion fair,
Behold, thy light is come!
Thy glorious conquering king is near
To take His exiles home.
The trumpet sounding through the sky,
To set poor captives free;
The day of wonder now is nigh:
The day of Jubilee.
2 Ye heralds, blow your trumpets loud,
The earth must know her doom;
Go spread the news from pole to pole,
Behold, the Judge is come;
Blow out the sun, burn up the earth!
Consume the rolling flood;
While every star shall disappear,
Go turn the moon to blood.
3 Arise, ye nations under ground,
Before the Judge appear;
All tongues and languages shall come,
Their final doom to hear!
King Jesus on His dazzling throne,
Ten thousand angels round;
And Gabriel with a silver trump,
Echoes the awful sound!
4 The glorious news of Gospel grace
To sinners now is o’er;
The trump in Zion now is still,
And to be heard no more!
The watchmen all have left their walls
And with their flocks above,
On Canaan’s peaceful shore they sing,
And shout redeeming love.
5 Come, all ye pilgrims in the Lord,
Whose hearts are joined in one,
Hold up your hands with courage bold,
Your race is almost run.
Above the clouds the Savior sits,
And smiling, bids you come;
Angels will guide your happy souls
To your eternal home.
6 Behold a pilgrim as he dies,
With glory in his view,
To Heaven he lifts his longing eyes,
And bids the world adieu;
While friends are weeping all around,
And loth to let him go,
He shouts with his expiring breath,
And leaves them all below.
7 O! Christians, are you ready now,
To cross that narrow flood,
On Canaan’s happy shore behold,
And see your smiling God?
The dazzling charms of that bright world,
Attracts my soul above;
My tongue shall shout redeeming grace,
When perfected in love.
8 Go on, my brethren in the Lord,
I’m bound to meet you there;
Although we tread enchanted ground,
Be bold and never fear.
Fight on, fight on, ye conquering souls,
The land, it is in view;
And when I gain fair Canaan’s shore,
I hope to meet with you. Used With Tune: INGLESIDE Text Sources: A Choice of Hymns and Spiritual songs by Daniel V. Dodge (Wilmington, DE: Matthew R. Lockerman, 1808)

Hark! the Glad Sound!
Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 820 hymnals First Line: Hark! the glad sound! The Savior comes! Lyrics: 1 Hark! the glad sound! The Savior comes!
The Savior promised long!
Let ev’ry heart prepare a throne,
and ev’ry voice a song.
On him the Spirit largely poured
exerts its sacred fire,
wisdom and might, and zeal and love,
his holy breast inspire.
2 He comes the pris’ners to release,
in Satan’s bondage held.
The gates of brass before him burst,
the iron fetters yield.
He comes the broken heart to bind,
the bleeding soul to cure,
and with the treasures of his grace
to enrich the humble poor.
3 His silver trumpets publish loud
the day of jubilee.
Our debts are all remitted now,
he sets the people free.
Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
thy welcome shall proclaim,
and heav’n’s eternal arches ring
with thy beloved name. Topics: Jesus Christ Second Coming of; Justice; Justice Economic; Liberation; Reign of Christ Scripture: Leviticus 25 Used With Tune: COMMUNION Text Sources: Translation and Paraphrases, 1745, alt.

Rise Up and Shine! Your Light Has Come
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise up and shine! Your light has come;
God's glory breaks like dawn.
For though the earth be cloaked in night
and gloom shrouds ev'ryone,
yet over you the Lord will rise,
with glory gleaming clear,
till nations turn to seek your light
and humbled kings draw near.
2 Fling wide your gates, both day and night;
no more keep watch or guard.
You will be called God's holy hill,
the city of the Lord.
No sound of strife will plague your land,
nor harm besiege your ways;
"Salvation" will you name your walls,
and all your portals "Praise."
3 No more will you implore the sun
to shed by day its light,
nor will you need the changeful moon
to glisten through the night.
Your glory then will be your God,
whose light will never cease.
Rise up and shine! Your light has come
to give you joy and peace. Used With Tune: DUCHY
