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.
I've wrestled on toward heaven, / 'Gainst storm, and wind, and tide; / Now, like a weary traveller / That leaneth on his guide, / Amid the shades of evening, / While sinks life's lingering sand, / I hail the glory dawning / In Immanuel's land.
With mercy and with judgment / My web of time He wove, / And aye the dews of sorrow / Were brightened 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.
The tune is RUTHERFORD. It is based on a melody by Chrétien D'Urhan 1788-1845) as arranged by Edward F. Rimbault (1816-1876). D'Urhan's melody first appeared in his CHANTS CHRÉTIENS in 1834. Rimbault's arrangement came in PSALMS AND HYMNS FOR DIVINE WORSHIP in 1867. The eponym for the tune name RUTHERFORD was Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661), a preacher in the Scottish Free Church. He left behind some letters which Anne R. Cousin read and which influenced her in writing the lyrics.
I Corinthians 6:15; "Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? John 6:33; "For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world...(vs.58)"he who feeds on this bread will live forever." I Corinthians 10:7; "Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf." Mat.16:6; "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisee"
I played this on the organ for a funeral once (no words or singing)... very quietly on the strings. The sad, sweet strains of the song had people crying - I wasn't sure if this was good or bad. I decided it was good because the beautiful melody brought warm memories of their departed loved one.

PC version skipped the part about the Lamb and his fair army. I'm tired of Arminians taking out verses. Write your own hymns.

A wonderful hymn that is so rarely is sung to day. I do like new hymns and choruses but sometimes we lose the good ones of the past.
