Jesus is now the land of wheat— Incarnate, crucified. But resurrection life is He By barley signified. He is a land of figs and vines— Blood of the grape, the cheering wine. With such supplies He satisfies— Christ our land!

In our good land we eat the bread— There is no scarcity. We never lack one thing in Him, So rich, so full is He. He is a land so vast, immense; He is complete in every sense. How He expands—land of all lands— In our heart!

Christ is a land of iron stones, Whence comes authority. We must dig out this solid Christ To bind His enemy. Then we must through the sufferings pass To be refined as burnished brass. With iron bind, as brass refined, Is our need.

Lord, how we bless Thee for this land, The all-inclusive Christ! We’ve eaten Him, we’re filled with Him, O how He has sufficed! Teach us to labor constantly Upon this vast reality; This is our joy, this our employ— Christ our land!
Thank You, Father for qualifying us for a share of the allotted portion of the saints in the light—for delivering us out of the authority of darkness and transferring us into the kingdom of the son of Your love so that may enjoy Christ as the good land (Col. 1:15-16). Teach us to labor constantly upon this vast reality. Oh how we need these genuine daily experiences of Christ as the good land for You to have your purpose—Your built up dwelling place on earth!
I love going thru and thru its verses for this hymn, in LS study of Genesis in chapters 12 and 13. During Abrham's time, the land is a place where Abraham couls defeat all his enemies that God might have a kingdom on earth. Today, our land is Christ, so vast, immense and extensive...so we can live in and live on, then we can defeat our own enemies...the vicious and destructive self! Hallelujah for thisi Chist...the Land!
