Sweet Beulah Land
GodTube Staff
1 I’ve reached the land of corn and wine,
And all its riches freely mine;
Here shines undimmed one blissful day,
For all my night has passed away.
Chorus:
O Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land, As on thy highest mount I stand,
I look away across the sea, Where mansions are prepared for me,
And view the shining glory shore, My Heav’n, my home forevermore!
2 My Savior comes and walks with me,
And sweet communion here have we;
He gently leads me by His hand,
For this is Heaven’s borderland. (Chorus)
3 A sweet perfume upon the breeze
Is borne from ever-vernal trees;
And flowers that never fading grow
Where streams of life forever flow. (Chorus)
4 The zephyrs seem to float to me,
Sweet sounds of Heaven’s melody,
As angels with the white-robed throng
Join in the sweet redemption song. (Chorus)
