In the Land

Joshua 3;4;5
Safe in the Promised Land!
Past judgment and the grave;
We’re one with Him, at God’s right hand,
Who came the lost to save.
The wilderness is past,
The Jordan’s depths are o’er,
Within the land our lot is cast,
To go abroad no more.
The Lord hath set us free,
Destroyed the power of hell.
Tis life and joy and peace to be
Where God Himself doth dwell.
The ark went on before;
Christ rose from out the dead,
And sin shall sunder nevermore
The members from the Head.
With “old corn of the land”
Doth God His people feed,
His wondrous grace we understand,
His Bread is food indeed.
Thou, Lord, hast set us free
From every claim of earth;
We eat and drink and live by Thee,
Thou Food of priceless worth!
The angels cannot share
The mystery divine;
They have their bliss in being where
We breathe and move as THINE.
Thy life, O Son of God;
Thy peace, Most Holy One;
Thy Father’s house, Thine own abode,
Are all, through grace, our own.
O vast eternal love!
O grace beyond degree!
The Church below, the Church above,
Is one, O Christ, with Thee.
