HYMN: Far away the noise of strife | Mo n gburo iji ti nja li ona jinjin rere - Dwelling in Beulah Land

ENGLISH LYRICS

Beulah, for the Lord delighted in thee. Isa.62:4

1. 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.

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

   I'm drinking at the fountain that

   Never shall I'm feasting on the manna from a bountiful supply

   For I am dwelling in Beulah land

2. 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 world retreating

   Nothing then can reach me, ‘tis

   Beulah land.

3. Let the storm 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 for ever in Beulah land

4. Viewing here the works of God, I sink in contemplation

   Hearing now His blessed voice I see the way is planned

   Dwelling in the spirit, here I learn of full salvation

   Gladly will I tarry in Beulah land.

Amen.
