"The Lord is there," Sav'd by His precious blood, "The Lord is there." For pow'r divine they plead, That they might be His indeed, And find in times of need, "The Lord is there." 3. Where saints exalt His name, "The Lord is there," Bearing the Cross and shame, "The Lord is there." He will their strength renew, Who His precious precepts do, And prove the promise true, "The Lord is there." 4. When souls for mercy cry, "The Lord is there," To broken hearts how nigh! "The Lord is there." With joy behold Him bring Unto such the robe and ring, While saints and angels sing, "The Lord is there." 5. In yon bright world above, "The Lord is there," Where all is peace and love, "The Lord is there." No sin, no griefs, or pains; Evil there no entrance gains, Where endless glory reigns, "The Lord is there." Scripture: Ezekiel 48:35 Tune Title: [In Zion's courts below]

Land of Beulah

Author: Anon. Hymnal: GA1888 #4 (1888) First Line: I am dwelling on the mountain Refrain First Line: Is this not the land of Beulah Lyrics: 1. I am dwelling on the mountain, Where the golden sunlight gleams, O'er a land whose wondrous beauty, Far exceeds my fondest dreams. Where the air is pure, ethereal, Laden with the breath of flow'rs, That are blooming by the fountain, 'Neath the amaranthine bow'rs. Chorus: Is not this the land of Beulah, Blessed, blessed land of light, Where the flowers bloom forever, And the sun is always bright. 2. I can see far down the mountain, Where I wander'd weary years, Often hinder'd in my journey, By the ghosts of doubts and fears, Broken vows and disappointments, Thickly sprinkled all the way, But the Spirit led unerring, To the land I hold today. [Chorus] 3. I am drinking at the fountain, Where I ever would abide; For I've tasted life's pure river, And my soul is satisfied; There's no thirsting for life's pleasures, Nor adorning, rich and gay; For I've found a richer treasure, One that fadeth not away. [Chorus] 4. Tell me not of heavy crosses, Nor of burdens hard to bear; For I've found this great salvation, Makes each burden light appear; And I love to follow Jesus, Gladly counting all but dross, Worldly honors all forsaking, For the glory of the Cross. [Chorus] 5. Oh! the Cross has wondrous glory! Oft I've prov'd this to be true; When I'm in the way so narrow, I can see a pathway through; And how sweetly Jesus whispers: "Take the Cross, thou need'st not fear; For I've tried this way before thee, And the glory lingers near." [Chorus] Tune Title: [I am dwelling on the mountain]

O the child could little know How the simple question thrilled me As in shame I answered: "No!" [Chorus] 3. "If you can't tell when He's coming, I should think you'd want to be Always ready," said my Willie, Looking gravely up at me. "Should He come tonight and call you, You would have to say to Him: "I'm not ready, O dear papa!" And his eyes with tears were dim. [Chorus] 4. Then I clasped my darling closer, Smitten with a sudden fear, For the words that he had spoken Seemed to bring life's end so near, And my heart cried: "O my Master, There shall be no more delay, Make me ready for Thy coming, Be that coming when it may!" Chorus: Are you ready for His coming, Be that coming soon or late? Will you go and meet Him gladly When He knocketh at the gate? Yes!
