Far Away the Noise of Strife (Dwelling in Beulah Land)

Author: C. Austin Miles, 1868-1946 Appears in 153 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 122:2 First Line: Far away the noise of strife upon my ear is falling Refrain First Line: I'm living on the mountain, underneath a cloudless sky Lyrics: 1 Far away the noise of strife upon my ear is falling, Then I know the sins of earth beset on every hand; Doubt and fear and things of earth in vain to me are calling, None of these shall move me from Beulah Land. Refrain: I’m living on the mountain, underneath a cloudless sky; I’m drinking at the fountain that never shall run dry; O yes! I’m feasting on the manna from a bountiful supply, For I am dwelling in Beulah Land. 2 Far below the storm of doubt upon the world is beating, Sons of men in battle long the enemy withstand; Safe am I within the castle of God’s word retreating, Nothing there can reach me, ’tis Beulah Land. [Refrain] 3 Let the stormy breezes blow, their cry cannot alarm me, I am safely sheltered here, protected by God’s hand; Here the sun is always shining, Here there’s naught can harm me, I am safe forever in Beulah Land. [Refrain] 4 Viewing here the works of God, I sink in contemplation; Hearing now His blessed voice, I see the way He planned; Dwelling in the Spirit, here I learn of full salvation, Gladly I will tarry in Beulah Land. [Refrain] Topics: The Christian Life Testimony; Testimony Used With Tune: DWELLING IN BEULAH LAND

O what their joys and their glory must be

Author: Peter Abelard, 1079-1142; J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 137 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 122:2-6 Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be, those endless sabbaths the blessèd ones see; crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest; God shall be all, and in all ever blest. *2 What are the Monarch, his court, and his throne? What are the peace and the joy that they own? Tell us, ye blest ones, who in it have share, if what ye feel ye can fully declare. 3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore, 'Vision of peace,' that brings joy evermore. Wish and fulfilment can severed be ne'er, nor the things prayed for come short of the prayer. *4 There, where no troubles distraction can bring, we the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing, while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise thy blessèd people eternally raise. 5 There dawns no sabbath, no sabbath is o’er, those sabbath-keepers have one and no more; one and unending is that triumph-song which to the angels and us shall belong. 6 Now in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high, we for that country must yearn and must sigh; seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, through our long exile on Babylon’s strand. 7 Low before him with our praises we fall, of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all: of whom, the Father; and in whom, the Son; through whom, the Spirit, with them ever One.

No careless slumber shall His eyelids close, Who keepeth thee. Behold, He sleepeth not, He slumbereth ne'er, Who keepeth Israel in His holy care. 3 Jehovah is Himself thy keeper true, Thy changeless shade; Jehovah thy defense on thy right hand Himself hath made. And thee no sun by day shall ever smite; No moon shall harm thee in the silent night. 4 From every evil shall He keep thy soul, From every sin; Jehovah shall preserve thy going out, Thy coming in.
