The Sands of Time Are Sinking (Live)

The sands of time are sinking, The dawn of heaven breaks; The summer morn Ive sighed for - The fair, sweet morn awakes: Dark, dark had been the midnight But dayspring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuels land. The king there in His beauty, Without a veil is seen: It were a well-spent journey, Though seven deaths lay between: The Lamb with His fair army, Doth on Mount Zion stand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuels land O Christ, He is the fountain, The deep, sweet well of love! The streams on earth Ive tasted More deep Ill drink above: There to an ocean fullness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuels land. The bride eyes not her garment, But her dear Bridegrooms 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 Emmanuels land. O I am my Beloveds And my Beloved is mine! He brings a poor vile sinner Into His house of wine I stand upon His merit - I know no other stand, Not een where glory dwelleth In Emmanuels land.
