There Is a Land of Pure Delight

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,409 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 35:10 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.

He comes from thickest films of vice To clear the mental ray, And on the eyeballs of the blind To pour celestial day. 4. He comes the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure, And with the treasures of his grace, T’enrich the humble poor. 5. His silver trumpets publish loud The Lord’s high jubilee; Our debts are all remitted now, Our heritage is free. 6. Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Your welcome shall proclaim, And Heav’n’s eternal arches ring With your beloved name. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: RICHMOND

Crown him with many crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894 Appears in 807 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 35:1 Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne; hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless king through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Virgin's Son, the God incarnate born, whose arm those crimson trophies won which now his brow adorn: Fruit of the mystic Rose, as of that Rose the Stem; the Root whence mercy ever flows, the Babe of Bethlehem. 3 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, those wounds yet visible above in beauty glorified: no angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a sceptre sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise: his reign shall know no end, and round his piercèd feet fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time, creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime: all hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.

O could I speak the matchless worth

Meter: Irregular Appears in 746 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 35:2 Lyrics: 1 O could I speak the matchless worth, O could I sound the glories forth Which in my Saviour shine, I'd soar and touch the heav'nly strings, And vie with Gabriel, while he sings In notes almost divine. 2 I'd sing the precious blood he spilt, My ransom from the dreadful guilt Of sin and wrath divine: I'd sing his glorious righteousness, In which all perfect heavenly dress My soul shall ever shine. 3 I'd sing the characters he bears, And all the forms of love he wears, Exalted on his throne: In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all his glories known. 4 Well, the delightful day will come, When my dear Lord will bring me home, And I shall see his face: Then with my Saviour, brother, friend, A blest eternity I'll spend, Triumphant in his grace.
