Holy Land 154t

Tune: R. F. M. Mann, 1869
Alto: Mrs. Anna L. (Cooper) Blackshear, 1902
Lyrics: Isaac Watts, 1707
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 spring abides
And never with’ring flow’rs;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heav’nly land from ours.
