Vale of Beulah

I am pass­ing down the val­ley

That they say is so lone

But I find that all the path­way

Is with flow­ers ov­er­grown;

’Tis to me the vale of Beu­lah

’Tis a beau­ti­ful way

For the Sav­ior walks be­side me

My com­pan­ion all day.

Vale of Beu­lah! Vale of Beu­lah!

Thou art pre­cious to me;

For the love­ly land of Ca­naan

In the dist­ance I see.

Not a sha­dow

not a sha­dow

Ever dark­ens the way

For a ra­di­ance of rare glo­ry

Shines up­on it all day;

And the mu­sic

sweet­ly chant­ed

By the heav­en­ly throng

Floats in ca­dence down the val­ley

And it cheers me along.

So I jour­ney with re­joic­ing

Toward the ci­ty of light

While each day my joy is deep­er

And the path grows more bright;

And I near the op­en por­tals

Of the king­dom above

For this high­way leads to Ca­naan

To the king­dom of love.
