Lyrics
The sands of time are sinking,
The dawn of heaven breaks;
The summer morn I've sighed for,
The fair, sweet morn awakes:
Dark, dark hath been the midnight,
But dayspring is at hand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
I've wrestled on t'ward heaven,
'Gainst storm and wind and tide,
Now like a weary trav'ler
That leaneth on his guide;
Amid the shades of ev'ning,
While sinks life's ling'ring sand,
I hail the glory dawning
From Immanuel's land.
Deep waters crossed life's pathway,
The hedge of thorns was sharp;
Now these lie all behind me–
O! for a well turned harp!
O, to join the hallelujah
With yon triumphant band!
Who sing where glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
O Christ, He is the fountain,
The deep, sweet well of love!
The streams of earth I've tasted
More deep I'll drink above:
There to an ocean fullness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
Oh, I am my Beloved's,
And my Beloved's mine!
He brings a poor, vile sinner
Into His "house of wine."
I stand upon His merit,
I know no other stand,
Not e'en where glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land!
The Bride eyes not her garment,
But her dear Bridegroom's face;
I will not gaze at glory,
But on my King of grace,
Not at the crown He giveth,
But on His pierced Hand;
The Lamb is all the glory
Of Immanuel's land!
The dawn of heaven breaks;
The summer morn I've sighed for,
The fair, sweet morn awakes:
Dark, dark hath been the midnight,
But dayspring is at hand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
I've wrestled on t'ward heaven,
'Gainst storm and wind and tide,
Now like a weary trav'ler
That leaneth on his guide;
Amid the shades of ev'ning,
While sinks life's ling'ring sand,
I hail the glory dawning
From Immanuel's land.
Deep waters crossed life's pathway,
The hedge of thorns was sharp;
Now these lie all behind me–
O! for a well turned harp!
O, to join the hallelujah
With yon triumphant band!
Who sing where glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
O Christ, He is the fountain,
The deep, sweet well of love!
The streams of earth I've tasted
More deep I'll drink above:
There to an ocean fullness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
Oh, I am my Beloved's,
And my Beloved's mine!
He brings a poor, vile sinner
Into His "house of wine."
I stand upon His merit,
I know no other stand,
Not e'en where glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land!
The Bride eyes not her garment,
But her dear Bridegroom's face;
I will not gaze at glory,
But on my King of grace,
Not at the crown He giveth,
But on His pierced Hand;
The Lamb is all the glory
Of Immanuel's land!
