- 1The night is fast passing,The day is at hand, Day is at hand;We’ve sighted the mountains of Beulah land,Sweet Beulah land.We’ll say good morning in glory,Good morning in glory;We’ll say good morning in glory,When the darkness has turned today.
- 2With harps and with trumpets,The glorified band, Glorified band,Are sounding their welcome to Beulah land,Sweet Beulah land.We’ll say good morning in glory,Good morning in glory;We’ll say good morning in glory,When the darkness has turned today.
- 3The Lamb on Mount ZionWith nail-pierced hand, Nail-pierced hand,Has opened the portals of Beulah land,Sweet Beulah land.We’ll say good morning in glory,Good morning in glory;We’ll say good morning in glory,When the darkness has turned today.
- 4Then sing, weary pilgrims,You’re nearing the strand, Nearing the strand,Where loved ones await you in Beulah land,Sweet Beulah land.We’ll say good morning in glory,Good morning in glory;We’ll say good morning in glory,When the darkness has turned today.
