303 Heavenly Land

Words: Isaac Watts, 1707

Music: Jeff Sheppard, 1987

Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)

Copyright: 1991 Sacred Harp Publishing Company

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-with’ring flow’rs;
Death like a narrow sea divides
This heav’nly land from ours.
