Living Hymns ‎#7

7. Tale of Beulah

1 I am passing down the valley that they say is so lone,
But I find that all the pathway is with flow'rs overgrown;
'Tis to me the vale of Beulah, 'tis a beautiful way,
For the Saviour walks beside me, my companion all day.

Chorus:
Vale of Beulah! Vale of Beulah!
Thou art precious to me;
For the lovely land of Canaan
In the distance I see.

2 Not a shadow, not a shadow ever darkens the way,
For a radiance of rare glory shines upon it all day:
And the music, sweetly chanted by the heavenly throng,
Floats in cadence down the valley, and it cheers me along. [Chorus]

3 So I journey with rejoicing toward the City of Light,
While each day my joy is deeper, and the path grows more bright;
And I near the open portals of the kingdom above,
For this highway leads to Canaan, to the Kingdom of Love. [Chorus]
