Cousin's best known hymn, "The Sands of Time are Sinking", is known and sung over the English-speaking world. It is also known as "Immanuel's Land", the phrase that is repeated at the end of each stanza. This poem was inspired by Samuel Rutherford's last words. It was first published in the 1860s, with extracts from Rutherford's works, under the title: Last words of Reverend Samuel Rutherford: with some of his sweet sayings. The first verse of Immanuel's Land says: :The sands of time are sinking, the dawn of Heaven breaks; :The summer morn I’ve sighed for — the fair, sweet morn awakes: :Dark, dark hath been the midnight, but dayspring is at hand, :And glory, glory dwelleth in Immanuel’s land.
