The Promised Land
Anne Steele • English
Primary Scripture: Isaiah 33:17
Verse 1
Far from these scenes of night, Unbounded glories rise, And realms of joy and pure delight Unknown to mortal eyes.
Verse 2
Fair land! could mortal eyes But half its charms explore, How would our spirits long to rise, And dwell on earth no more!
Verse 3
No cloud those regions know, Realms ever bright and fair! For sin, the source of mortal woe, Can never enter there.
Verse 4
O may the prospect fire Our hearts with ardent love, Till wings of faith, and strong desire, Beat every thought above.
