Lyrics & Stanzas
3 portions
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
O Christ, He is the fountain, The deep sweet well of love; The streams on 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.
Verse 3
The King there in His beauty Without a veil is seen; It were a well-spent journey, Tho' sev'n deaths lay between; The Lamb with His fair army Doth on Mount Zion stand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land.
