The Sun Is Rising In The East

Author: B. S. Ingemann Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #46 (1927) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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.

There is a land of pure delight

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #611 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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.

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #574 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 drest in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But timerous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea, And linger, shivering, on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded 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.
