You will be called Hepzibah, and your land Beulah.
Isaiah 62:4
Words & Music: C. Austin Miles, in Songs of Pentecostal Power, Complete, edited by Robert E. Winsett (Ft. Smith, Arkansas & Chattanooga, Tennessee, 1908), number 236 (🔊 pdf nwc).
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.
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.
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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
Viewing here the works of God,
I sink in contemplation.
Hearing now His blessèd voice,
I see the way He planned.
Dwelling in the Spirit here
I learn of full salvation.
Gladly I will tarry in Beulah Land.
Refrain
