Hymn 196 - Dwelling in Beulah Land

Far away the noise of strife

upon my ear is falling,

Then I know the sins of earth

beset on ev’ry hand.

Doubt and fear and things of earth

in vain to me are calling,

None of these shall move me

from Beulah Land.

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 then can reach me —

’tis Beulah Land.

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.

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 will I tarry in 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.
