Dwelling in Beulah Land

As I was beginning to think about which hymn to blog next, I happened to let The Service Hymnal fall open and “Dwelling in Beulah Land” stared back at me.  I recall my childhood church congregation singing it often.

Far away the noise of strife upon my ear is falling

Then I know the sins of earth beset on every 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

CHORUS:

I’m living on the mountain, underneath a cloudless sky

I’m drinking at the fountain that never shall run dry

Oh yes, I’m feasting on the manna from a bountiful supply

For I am dwelling in Beulah Land
