THE

Rev. xxii.

HERE is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;

C.M.

Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.

Chorus.—We're marching through IMMANUEL'S ground,

And soon shall hear the trumpet sound,
And then we shall with JESUS reign,
And never, never part again.

What! never part again? No! never
part again :

And then we shall with Jesus reign,
And never, never part again.

2 There everlasting spring abides,
And never-withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heav'nly land from ours.

We're marching through, &c.

3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood,
Stand dress'd in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan roll'd between.
We're marching through, &c.

4 How tim'rous mortals start and shrink,
To cross this narrow sea;
But saints rejoice upon the brink,
And long to launch away.

Chorus.-For the Lion of Judah shall break [again. And give me the victory again and

2 It is not for me to be seeking my bliss,
And building my hopes in a region like this;
I look for a city that hands have not piled,
I pant for a country by sin undefiled.

3 The winds of affliction around me may blow,

And dash my lone bark as I'm sailing below; I smile at the storm as I lean on His breast, And soon I shall land in the haven of rest. For the Lion, &c.

When our earthly toils are o'er;

When the crown of glory's given,
And we meet to part no more.
Chorus.-Oh! how sweet to be forgiven
All our sins; and sin no more;
What sweet songs we'll sing in heaven,
When our earthly toils are o'er.

2 CHRIST has enter'd heav'n before us,
To prepare our happy home;
Our FATHER watches o'er us,
And the SPIRIT bids us come.

Oh, how sweet, &c.

3 Onward, CHRISTIAN, look before you,
'Tis your Captain leads the way;
See, He waves His banner o'er you,
Hark! He bids you watch and pray.

On to victory we'll move;
Through the love of Him who sav'd us,
We shall more than conqu'rors prove.

Oh, how sweet, &c.

Yon bright mansions in the sky;
All our joys in CHRIST shall centre,
While His praise resounds on high.
Oh, how sweet, &c.

Heb. xii. 22.

EAUTIFUL Zion! built above;
Beautiful city that I love!
Beautiful gates of pearly white!

Beautiful fruits they always bear!
Beautiful rivers gliding by!
Beautiful fountains never dry!
