Immanuel’s Land
Words: Anne Ross Cousin
Music: Rutherford | Chrétien d’Urhan (1790–1845)
1. 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.

2. 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.

3. O 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 ev’n where glory dwelleth in Immanuel’s land.

4. 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.
