Isaac Watts (1674 –1748) was born in Southampton, England and was brought up in the home of a committed religious Nonconformist; his father, also Isaac Watts had been incarcerated twice for his views. Watts could not attend Oxford or Cambridge because of being a Noncomformist and because these universities were restricted to Anglicans, instead attending the Dissenting Academy at Stoke Newington in 1690. Watts lived at Abney Hall in Stoke Newington until his death in 1748; he was buried in Bunhill Fields. He left an extensive legacy of hymns, treatises, educational works, and essays. His work was influential amongst Nonconformist independents and religious revivalists of the 18th century by contributing to English hymnody with new poetry to be used in worship. The older tradition was based on the poetry of the Bible which was developed from the teachings of the 16th-century Reformation leader John Calvin. Watts’ introduction of extra-Biblical poetry opened up a new era of Protestant hymnody with other poets following in his path. Many of Watts’ hymns are included in the Christadelphian Hymnal, the Episcopal Church’s Hymnal 1982, Evangelical Lutheran Worship, the Baptist Hymnal, the Presbyterian Trinity Hymnal, and the Methodist Hymns and Psalms. Many of his texts are also used in the American Hymnal and The Sacred Harp. Several of his hymns are used in the hymnals of the Church of Christ, Scientist and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Of the more that 600 tunes in the Sacred Harp, 149 of them have words by Isaac Watts. Similarly, of the 180 tunes in the Missouri Harmony 2005 Edition, Isaac Watts is credited with the words for 75 of them. The majority of these words come from Watts monumental Psalms and Hymns, first published in 1707.

Isaac Watts (1674-1748) wrote the lyrics of There is a land of pure delight and is known as the Father of English Hymnody.
Watts was for the English hymn as Ambrose was for the medieval Latin hymn and what Martin Luther was for the German chorale.
He wrote about 750 songs, and some of them survide the ravahes of time. (Joy To The World, When I survey the wondrous cross, I sing the Mighty Power of God)

There is a Land of Pure Delight is usually in English-speaking areas sung on Luther Orlando Emerson's melody ('Ascription').
Here is used a traditional English melody ('Mendip').

There is a land of pure delight
Wheresaints immortal Reign.
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.

Isaac Watts (1674-1748) schreef de tekst van ‘There is a land of pure delight’, en staat bekend als de 'Father of English Hymnody' (Vader van het gezang).
Watts was voor het Engelse gezang wat Ambrosius was voor de middeleeuwseLatijnse hymne in de getijden en wat Maarten Luther was voor het Duitse koraal. Hij schreef ongeveer 750 liederen, waarvan een aantal de tand des tijds overleefden. (Joy to the World, When I survey the wondrous cross, I singthe mighty Power of God)

'There is a Land of Pure Delight' wordt in Engelstalige gebieden meestal op een melodie van Luther Orlando Emerson gezongen ('Ascription').
In Nederland is het lied opgenomen in het 'Liedboekder Kerken' (gez. 290). Hier wordt gebruik gemaakt van een Engelse traditionele melodie ('Mendip').

There is a land of pure delight
Where saints immortal reign.
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasuresbanish pain.

Composed by John Ratledge. Psalms 47 from the Bible. Jbc. Performance Score. With Standard notation. 8 pages. Duration 1 minute, 44 seconds. Carl Fischer Music #CM9570. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.CM9570).

ISBN 9781491153581. UPC: 680160911080. 6.75 x 10.5 inches. Key: Bb major. Latin. Psalms 47 from the Bible.

Psalm 47 was commissioned by the Sigma Alpha Iota Chapter of Hardin Simmons University (Abilene, Texas), Suzanne Watts, conductor, back in 1978. I was a graduate student at the time, and the premiere was a great success. Consequently, the work has received many performances since that time; however, it remained unpublished until now. In a modified tripartite structure, the psalmist uses the imperative verb tense as a command to the people: (you clap), (you shout), (you sing) to exemplify that praise and joy should be public, intelligent, cheerful, and constant. The psalmist admonishes that praise and joy are visual, aural, palpable, and most definitely contagious. The contrasting slow section with a soprano solo should be like an accompanied arioso, where the soloist is supported by lush, major/minor seventh chords in inversion (accompanied recitative). The soloist actually becomes the narrator in this section, the preacher or deliverer of the news that the people will be protected, sustained and blessed. The rapid tempo of the A-section returns and the staggered entrances in the last section/coda indicate the ecstasy knowing that belief can manifest itself in individualized, energized, emotional responses that can change the world. Rise up and claim the power of JOY!.
