SS&S Hymn #944: I've reached the land

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

1

I’ve reached the land of corn and wine,
And all its riches freely mine;
Here shines undimmed one blissful day,
For all my night has passed away.
O Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land,
As on thy highest mount I stand,
Ilook away across the sea,
Where_ mansions are prepared for me,
And view the shining glory shore:
My heaven, my home for evermore!

2

My Saviour comes and walks with me,
And sweet communion here have we;
He gently leads me by His hand,
For this is heaven’s borderland.

3

A sweet perfume upon the breeze
Is borne from ever-vernal trees;
And flowers that, never fading, grow
Where streams of life for ever flow.

4

The zephyrs seem to float to me
Sweet sounds of heaven’s melody,
As angels with the white-robed throng
Join in the sweet redemption song.
