My favourite hymn I loved to hear mother sing on Sundays.
Upon thy heights I long to stand.
And view the radiant, jasper sea,
There is a land of corn and wine,
And all its joys will soon be mine
There shines undimmed one blissful day,
For earth dark night has passed away.
O Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land!
Upon thy heights I long to stand.
And view the radiant, jasper sea,
And mansions fair, prepared for me,
And find on that eternal shore,
My heaven, my home forevermore!
My Saviour then will walk with me;
O sweet communion that will be;
He’ll gently lead me by the hand,
In that celestial happy land,
O Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land!
Upon thy heights I long to stand.
And view the radiant, jasper sea,
And mansions fair, prepared for me,
And find on that eternal shore,
My heaven, my home forevermore!
The zephyrs then will laden me,
With sounds of sweetest melody,
As angels with the ransomed throng,
Join in the sweet redemption song.
O Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land!
Upon thy heights I long to stand.
And view the radiant, jasper sea,
And mansions fair, prepared for me,
And find on that eternal shore,
My heaven, my home forevermore!
