57. My Tent Is Pitched in Beulah Land

1 Praise God, I’ve found a safe retreat
Where I can rest my weary feet;
Here joys abound on every hand,—
‘Tis Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land.

Refrain:
O Beulah Land, forever blest,
The land of joy, and peace, and rest;
No more till death I’ll leave thy strand,
My tent is pitched in Beulah Land.

2 From here yon heaven can be seen,
Tho’ Jordan’s torrent flows between;
But till I cross, at God’s command,
I’ll stay right here in Beulah Land. [Refrain]

3 I know that in that city fair
Are many loved ones waiting there,
But till I’m called to join that band,
I’ll never leave sweet Beulah Land. [Refrain]

4 Christ lives with me in this retreat
And our communion here is sweet;
He’ll lead me, if I hold His hand,
To heaven’s gate in Beulah Land. [Refrain]
