1
There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
There is a Land of pure Delight,, Stanza 1
2
There everlasting spring abides
And never fading flow'rs;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heav'nly land from ours.
There is a Land of pure Delight,, Stanza 2
