My Father calls me, I must go To meet him in the promised land. 2. I have a Saviour in the promised land; I'll away, I'll away to the promised land; . To meet him in the promised land. 3. I have a crown in the promised land; When Jesus calls me, I must go To wear it in the promised land. I'll away, I'll away to the promised land; When Jesus calls me, I must go To wear it in the promised land. 4. I hope to meet you in the promised land: At Jesus' feet, a joyous band, We'll praise him in the promised land. At Jesus' feet, a joyous band, We'll praise him in the promised land. 341. 10s. 1. JOYFULLY, joyfully, onward we move, Bound to the land of bright spirits above: Jesus, our Saviour, in mercy says, Come, Joyfully, joyfully, haste to your home. Soon will our pilgrimage end here below, Joyfully, joyfully, rest we in heaven. 2 Teachers and scholars have pass'd on before; Waiting, they watch us approaching the shore, Singing, to cheer us while passing along, Filling with harmony heaven's high dome: 3. Death with his arrow may soon lay us low, gone, Over the plains of sweet Canaan we'll roam, 1. WE'RE bound for the land of the pure and the holy, The home of the happy, the kingdom of love. Ye wanderers from God in the broad road of folly. Oh, say, will you come to the Eden above? Will you go, will you go? Oh, say, will you go to the Eden above? 2. March on, happy pilgrims, that land is before you, And soon its ten thousand delights we will prove; Yes, soon we shall walk o'er the hills of bright glory, And drink the pure joys of the Eden above. Will you go, will you go? Oh, yes, we will go to the Eden above. 8. And yet, guilty sinner, we would not forsake thee: We halt yet a moment as onward we move; Oh, come to the Lord: in his arms he will And bear thee along to the Eden above. Oh, say, will you go to the Eden above? 4. Methinks thou art now in thy wretchedness saying, Oh, who can this guilt from my con science remove? No other but Jesus: then come to him, pray ing, Prepare me, O Lord, for the Eden above. At last will you go to the Eden above? 1. COME, children, let us sweetly sing, We are bound for the land of Canaan; We are bound for the land of Canaan. 2. Happy are all good children here, They are bound for the land of Canaan; They are bound for the land of Canaan. 3. Come, then, and join our happy band, 344. Ss. 1. YE angels, who stand round the throne Tune, tune your soft harps to his praise. And all his rich mercy repeat. 2. Oh, when will the period appear My God and my Saviour to see. 3. I long to put on my attire, Wash'd white in the blood of the Lamb; And tune my sweet harp to his name. Where sorrow and sin bid adieu, 345. 6s & 4s. 1. A CROWN of glory bright, In yonder realms of light Oh, may I faithful prove, 2. Jesus, be thou my guide, Oh, keep me near thy side, Be thou my shield and sun, My Saviour and my guard; |
