Lyrics

Verse 1
Far away the noise of strife
Upon my ear is fall­ing.
Then I know the sins of earth
Beset on ev­ery hand. (Heb. 12:1)
Doubt and fear and things of earth
In vain to me are call­ing.
None of these shall move me (Acts 20:24)
From Beu­lah Land. (Isa. 62:4)

Chorus
I’m liv­ing on the mount­ain, (Isa. 25:6)
Underneath a cloud­less sky.
I’m drink­ing at the fount­ain
That nev­er shall run dry. (John 4:14, Rev. 7:17, Rev. 21:6, Rev. 22:1)
O yes! I’m feast­ing on the man­na (Rev. 2:17, Ex. 16:31-35, Num. 11:6-9, Deut. 8:3, Deut. 8:16, Josh. 5:12, Neh. 8:20, Ps. 78:24, John 6:31, John 6:49, John 6:58)
From a boun­ti­ful sup­ply, (John 6:35)
For I am dwell­ing in Beu­lah Land. (Isa. 62:4)

Verse 2
Far be­low the storm of doubt
Upon the world is beat­ing.
Sons of men in bat­tle long
The en­emy with­stand. (Eph. 6:13, I Pet. 5:8-9)
Safe am I with­in the cas­tle (Prov. 18:10, Ps. 18:2, Ps. 61:3)
Of God’s Word re­treat­ing. (Ps. 119:114)
Nothing then can reach me—
’Tis Beulah Land. (Isa. 62:4)

Verse 3
Let the stor­my breez­es blow,
Their cry can­not alarm me;
I am safe­ly shel­tered here,
Protected by God’s hand. (Isa. 41:10, Isa. 51:6, John 10:28-29)
Here the sun is al­ways shin­ing,
Here there’s naught can harm me. (Ps. 91:5-7)
I am safe for­ev­er in Beu­lah Land. (Isa. 62:4)

Verse 4
Viewing here the works of God, (Ps. 111:2)
I sink in con­tem­pla­tion.
Hearing now His bless­èd voice, (John 10:27, Rev. 3:20)
I see the way He planned.
Dwelling in the Spir­it here (John 14:17)
I learn of full sal­va­tion.
Gladly I will tar­ry in Beu­lah Land. (Isa. 62:4)
