Text: Anne Ross Cousin | Tune: Connie Dever
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.
The King there in His beauty,
Without a veil is seen;
It were a well spent journey,
Though sev’n deaths lay between;
The Lamb with His fair army
Doth on Mount Zion stand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel’s land.
O Christ, He is the fountain,
The deep, deep 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.
With mercy and with judgment
My web of time He wove;
And aye, the dews of sorrow
Were lustered with His love;
I’ll bless the hand that guided,
I’ll bless the heart that planned,
When throned where 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 garments,
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.
I am never alone for jesus is always with me wherever i go and what ever i do✝️❤
Been humming this song the whole afternon. Did not know what hymn it was, but I knew that we had sang it with some of my church members a while back. Thank God He has led me here. Thanks.
Very meaning lyrics set to haunting melody. Thank you, LORD.
Beautiful 😍
Thank you so much. Hadn't heard this particular tune for this favourite hymn of mine.
The arrangement is only just over 10 years old. The composer arranged it ca. 2009 for her husband as a gift to celebrate the 15th anniversary of his installation as senior pastor of the church you hear singing it in this video.
Is there a piano only or instrumental version available for this hymn?
