303 Heavenly Land
Tune:
Jeff Sheppard
, 1987
Words:
Isaac Watts
, 1709
Meter:
Common Meter (8,6,8,6)
There
is
a
land
of
pure
delight,
Where
saints
immortal
reign.
Infinite
day
excludes
the
night,
And
pleasures
banish
pain.
There
everlasting
springs
abide,
And
never
with’ring
flow’rs.
Death,
like
a
narrow
sea,
divides
This
heav’nly
land
from
ours.
