“ HYMN 728. C. M. The heavenly Canaan. 1THERE is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign: Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dress'd in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan roll'd between. ”
