The Happy Land
Author: Andrew Young Hymnal: Laudes Domini #556 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: There is a happy land Lyrics: 1 There is a happy land,
Far, far away,
Where saints in glory stand
Bright, bright as day.
Oh, how they sweetly sing,
"Worthy is our Saviour King,"
Loud let his praises ring,
Praise, praise for aye!
2 Come to that happy land,
Come, come away,
Why will ye doubting stand,
Why still delay?
Oh, we shall happy be,
When, from sin and sorrow free,
Lord we shall dwell with thee,
Blest, blest for aye.
3 Bright in that happy land,
Beams every eye:
Kept by a Father's hand,
Love cannot die.
Oh, then to glory run;
Be a crown and Kingdom won,
And bright, above the sun,
We'll reign for aye. Languages: English Tune Title: HAPPY LAND
The Happy Land
"The glory that excelleth"
Author: Charles I. Cameron Hymnal: Laudes Domini #560 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Oh, fair the gleams of glory Lyrics: 1 Oh, fair the gleams of glory,
And bright the scenes of mirth,
That lighten human story
And cheer, this weary earth;
But richer far our treasure
With whom the Spirit dwells,
Ours, ours in heavenly measure
The glory that excels.
2 The lamplight faintly gleaneth
Where shines the noonday ray;
From Jesus' face there beameth
Light of a sevenfold day;
And earth's pale lights, all faded,
The Light from heaven dispels;
But shines for aye unshaded
The glory that excels.
3 No broken cisterns need they
Who drink from living rills;
No other music heed they
Whom God's own music thrills.
Earth's precious things are tasteless,
Its boisterous mirth repels,
Where flows in measure wasteless
The glory that excels.
4 Since on our life descended
Those beams of light and love,
Our steps have heavenward tended,
Our eyes have looked above,
Till through the clouds concealing
The home where glory dwells,
Our Jesus comes revealing
The glory that excels. Languages: English
"The glory that excelleth"
"Go over this Jordan"
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #563 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: There is a land of pure delight 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.
But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea;
And linger, shivering on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
3 Oh, could we make our doubts remove,
These gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes:
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. Languages: English Tune Title: VARINA
"Go over this Jordan"
"Immanuel's Land"
Author: Mrs. Anne R. Cousin Hymnal: Laudes Domini #553 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: The sands of time are sinking Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking;
The dawn of heaven breaks;
The summer morning I've sighed for,
The fair, sweet morn, awakes.
Dark, dark hath been the midnight;
But dayspring is at hand,
And glory glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
2 Oh, Christ! he is the fountain,
The deep, sweet well of love;
The streams on earth I've tasted,
More deep I'll drink above;
There to an ocean fullness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
3 With mercy and with judgment
My web of time he wove,
And aye the dews of sorrow
Were lustred by his love;
I'll bless the hand that guided,
I'll bless the heart that planned,
When throned where glory dwelleth,
In Immanuel's land. Languages: English Tune Title: RUTHERFORD

"A City"
Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: Laudes Domini #559 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Jerusalem, the glorious! Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the glorious!
The glory of the elect,
O dear and future vision
That eager hearts expect!
Ev'n now by faith I see thee,
Ev'n here thy walls discern;
To thee my thoughts are kindled,
And strive, and pant, and yearn!
2 The Cross is all thy splendor,
The Crucified, thy praise;
His land and benediction
Thy ransomed people raise;
Jerusalem! exulting
On that secured shore,
I hope thee, wish thee, sing thee,
And love thee evermore!
3 O sweet and blessed Country!
Shall I e'er see thy face?
O sweet and blessed Country!
Shall I e'er win thy grace?
Exult, O dust and ashes!
The Lord shall be thy part;
His only, his for ever,
Thou shalt be, and thou art!

"A City"
The New Jerusalem
Author: FBP Hymnal: Laudes Domini #564 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Jerusalem! my happy home! Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem! my happy home!
Name ever dear to me!
When shall my labors have an end,
In joy, and peace, in thee!
2 Oh, when, thou city of my God,
Shall I thy courts ascend,
Where congregations ne'er break up,
And Sabbaths have no end?
3 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom,
Nor sin nor sorrow know:
Blest seats! thro' rude and stormy scenes
I onward press to you.
4 Why should I shrink at pain and woe!
Or feel, at death, dismay?
I've Canaan's goodly land in view,
And realms of endless day.
5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there,
Around my Saviour stand;
And soon my friends in Christ below,
Will join the glorious band.
6 Jerusalem! my happy home!
My soul still pants for thee;
Then shall my labors have an end,
When I thy joys shall see. Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM

The New Jerusalem
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #565 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: O mother dear, Jerusalem Lyrics: 1 O mother dear, Jerusalem,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
2 O happy harbor of God's saints!
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow can be found,
Nor grief, nor care, nor toil.
3 No dimly cloud o'ershadows thee,
Nor gloom, nor darksome night;
But every soul shines as the sun,
For God himself gives light.
4 Thy walls are made of precious stone,
Thy bulwarks diamond-square,
Thy gates are all of orient pearl
O God! if I were there! Languages: English Tune Title: RHINE

Who are these in bright aray
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #571 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven Lyrics: 1 Who are these in bright array,
This innumerable throng
Round the altar, night and day
Hymning one triumphant song?
"Worthy is the Lamb, once slain,
Blessing, honor, glory, power,
Wisdom, riches, to obtain,
New dominion every hour."
2 These through fiery trials trod;
These from great afflictions came;
Now, before the throne of God,
Sealed with his almighty name.
Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor-palms in every hand,
Through their dear Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand.
3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown,
On immortal fruits they feed;
Them the Lamb, amid the throne,
Shall to living fountains lead:
Joy and gladness banish sighs
Perfect love dispel all fears
And for ever from their eyes
God shall wipe away the tears. Languages: English
Who are these in bright aray
"His house of wine"
Author: Mrs. Anne R. Cousin Hymnal: Laudes Domini #554 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Oh, Christ, he is the fountain Lyrics: 1 Oh, Christ, he is the fountain,
The deep, sweet well of love!
The streams on earth I've tasted,
More deep I'll drink above:
There to an ocean fullness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
2 Oh, I am my Beloved's,
And my Beloved's mine!
He brings a poor vile sinner
Into his "house of wine!"
I stand upon his merit,
I know no other stand,
Not ev'n where glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
3 The bride eyes not her garment,
But her dear Bridegroom's face;
I will not gaze at glory,
But on my King of Grace
Not at the crown he giveth,
But on his pierced hand
The Lamb is all the glory
Of Immanuel's land. Languages: English
"His house of wine"
The New Jerusalem
Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: Laudes Domini #557 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Jerusalem, the golden Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the golden,
With milk and honey blest!
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed;
I know not, oh, I know not,
What social joys are there,
What radiancy of glory,
What light beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng;
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David;
And there, from care released,
The song of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast:
And they who, with their Leader,
Have conquered in the fight
For ever and for ever
Are clad in robes of white. Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
