| '''Original text: '''
| |
| | |
| There is a land of pure delight,<br>
| |
| Where saints immortal reign,<br>
| |
| Infinite day excludes the night,<br>
| |
| And pleasures banish pain.<br>
| |
| | |
| Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood,<br>
| |
| Stand dress'd in living green;<br>
| |
| So to the Jews old Canaan stood,<br>
| |
| While Jordan roll'd between. <br>
| |
| | |
| '''Additional verses: '''
| |
| | |
| There everlasting spring abides<br>
| |
| And never with'ring flow'rs;<br>
| |
| Death, like a narrow sea, divides<br>
| |
| that heavenly land from ours.<br>
| |
| | |
| Yet tim'rous mortals start and shrink <br>
| |
| to cross that narrow sea,<br>
| |
| And linger, shiv'ring, on the brink,<br>
| |
| too feared to launch away.<br>
| |
| | |
| O could we make our doubts remove,<br>
| |
| those gloomy doubts that rise,<br>
| |
| And see the Canaan that we love <br>
| |
| with unbeclouded eyes!<br>
| |
| | |
| Could we but climb where Moses stood,<br>
| |
| and view the landscape o'er,<br>
| |
| Not Jordan's stream nor death's cold flood<br>
| |
| could drive us from the shore!<br>
