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 the Jews old Canaan stood,<br>
While Jordan roll'd between. <br>

There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign,
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.

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