Refrain: You need not look for me, down in Egypt’s sand, For I have pitched my tent far up in Beulah land. 2 I followed close beside Him, and the land soon found, I did not halt or tremble, for Canaan I was bound; My Guide I fully trusted, and He led me in, I shouted, Hallelujah! my heart is free from sin. [Refrain] 3 I started for the highlands where the fruits abound, I pitched my tent near Hebron, there grapes of Eshcol found, With milk and honey flowing, and new wine so free; I have no love for Egypt, it has no charms for me. [Refrain] 4 My heart is so enraptured as I press along, Each day I find new blessings which fill my heart with song; I’m ever marching onward to that land on high, Some day I’ll reach my mansion that’s builded in the sky.
