There Is A Land Of Pure Delight chords by Hymn

Chords with lyrics

Capo 4

Verse 1:

   A minorAm                C majorC
There is a land of pure de-light where saints im-mor-tal reigh;

FF         G+G     DmDm     FF     G+G    A minorAm
In-fin-ite day ex-cludes the night, and pleasures ban-ish pain.

A minorAm                   C majorC
There ever-last-ing spring a-bides, and ne-ver a with-'ring flower;

C majorC   FF        G+G   DmDm     FF     G+G     A minorAm
Death like a nar-row sea di-vides, this heav-'nly land from ours.

Chorus:

A minorAm       C majorC          G+G          DmDm     FF
Could we but climb, where Mo-ses stood, and view the land-scape o'er;

FF        C majorC            G+G                DmDm    FF  G+G
Not Jor-dan's streams nor death's cold flood, should fright us from the shore.


Verse 2:

FF                     C majorC
Sweet fields be-yond the swell-ing flood , stand dressed in liv-ing green;

  FF        G+G     DmDm     FF    FF     A minorAm
So to the Jews old Can-aan stood, while Jor-dan rolled be-tween.

A minorAm                     C majorC
But tim-orous mor-tals start and shrink, to cross this nar-row sea;

  FF         G+G   DmDm     FF    G+G    A minorAm
And lin-ger shiv-'ring on the brink, and fear to launch a-way.


Chorus:

A minorAm       C majorC          G+G          DmDm     FF
Could we but climb, where Mo-ses stood, and view the land-scape o'er;

FF        C majorC            G+G                DmDm    FF  G+G
Not Jor-dan's streams nor death's cold flood, should fright us from the shore.


Bridge:

  A minorAm                   C majorC
Oh could we make our doubts re-move, those gloom-y doubts that a-rise;

  FF        G+G    DmDm      FF   G+G    A minorAm
And see the Can-aan that we love,  with un-be-clouded eyes.


Chorus:

A minorAm       C majorC          G+G          DmDm     FF
Could we but climb, where Mo-ses stood, and view the land-scape o'er;

FF        C majorC            G+G                DmDm   FF  G+G  A minorAm
Not Jor-dan's streams nor death's cold flood, should fright us from the shore.


4/4 time. Play first half of first verse open (just hit the chords and fill as necessary), then build it up
til the chorus. Bring it back down (still strumming in the 2nd verse and bridge). Dynamics are
huge in this song. Very heartfelt.
