I long ago left Egypt
for the promised land,
I trusted in my Savior,
and to His guiding hand;
He led me out to vict’ry
through the great Red Sea,
I sang a song of triumph,
and shouted, I am free!
You need not look for me,
down in Egypt’s sand,
For I have pitched my tent
far up in Beulah land;
You need not look for me,
down in Egypt’s sand,
For I have pitched my tent
far up in Beulah land.
I followed close beside Him,
and the land soon found,
I did not halt or tremble,
for Canaan I was bound;
My Guide I fully trusted,
and He led me in,
I shouted, Hallelujah!
my heart is free from sin!
You need not look for me,
down in Egypt’s sand,
For I have pitched my tent
far up in Beulah land;
You need not look for me,
down in Egypt’s sand,
For I have pitched my tent
far up in Beulah land.
I started for the highlands
where the fruits abound,
I pitched my tent near Hebron,
there grapes of Eschol found,
With milk and honey flowing,
and new wine so free;
I have no love for Egypt,
it has no charms for me.
You need not look for me,
down in Egypt’s sand,
For I have pitched my tent
far up in Beulah land;
You need not look for me,
down in Egypt’s sand,
For I have pitched my tent
far up in Beulah land.
My heart is so enraptured
as I press along,
Each day I find new blessings
which fill my heart with song;
I’m ever marching onward
to that land on high,
Some day I’ll reach my mansion
that’s builded in the sky.
You need not look for me,
down in Egypt’s sand,
For I have pitched my tent
far up in Beulah land;
You need not look for me,
down in Egypt’s sand,
For I have pitched my tent
far up in Beulah land.
