IN IMMANUEL'S LAND

The sands of time are sinking;
The dawn of heaven breaks;
The summer morn I've sighed for,
The fair, sweet morn awakens.
Dark, dark hath been the midnight,
But day.spring is at hand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
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 dweleth
In lmmanVel's land.
With mercy and with judgment
My web Of time he wove;
And aye the dews of sorrow
We're lustered by his love;
I'll bless the hand that guided,
I'll bless the heart that planned,
When throned where glory dweleth
In Immanuers land.
I've wrestled on toward heaven
'Gainst storm and wind and tide,
Now like weary traveller
That leanetb on his guide;
Amid the shades of evening,
While sinks life's lingering sand,
| hail the glory dwelling
In Immanuels land.
Rutherford
