1 There are heights to reach in the Canaan land,
There are steps my feet would prove;
There are peaks my soul would delight to scale,
While I dwell in the mount of love.

Refrain:
Dwelling in the mount of love,
Feasting on the things above;
Here the breath of heav'n to my soul is giv'n;
I'm dwelling in the mount of love.

2 ‘Tis a precious place, full of joy and rest,
By a Father's mercy planned;
‘Tis a holy mount where my soul abides,
In the light of the glory-land. [Refrain]

3 ‘Tis a place where service for Christ is sweet,
‘Tis a land of corn and wine;
‘Tis a place that's filled with the perfect peace
Of the Holy Ghost divine. [Refrain]
