There Is a Holy Land

There is a ho­ly land called Pal­es­tine

Round which the Christ­ian heart will ev­er twine.

Sacred each height sub­lime

sac­red each creep­ing vine

Sacred each scene of thine

blest Pal­es­tine.

There in that ho­ly land

the feet have trod

Of pro­phets

priests and kings

an­gels and God.

There Ab­ram’s faith was tried

there Da­vid sang and died

There Christ was cru­ci­fied

in Pal­es­tine.
