Lyics

There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints in glory reign;
Eternal day excludes the night, 
And pleasures banish pain.


There everlasting spring abides,
And neverwith'ring flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea divides
This heavenly land from ours.


Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dress'd in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan roll'd between.


When I ascend where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er,
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,
Can fright me from the shore.
