All Believer Hymn Book
Hymn 235 I’VE PITCHED MY Lyrics
1. I long ago left Egypt, for the promised land,
I trusted in my Saviour and to His guiding hand,
He led me out to vict’ry thro’ the great red sea,
I sang a song of triumph, and shouted “I am free”
Chorus:
You need not look for me, down in Egypt’s sand.
For I have pitched my tent far up in Beulah land:
You tent far up in Beulah land.
2. 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”
3. I started for the highlands where the fruits abound,
I pitched my tent near Hebron, there grapes of eshicol found.
With milk and honey flowing and new wine so free,
I have no love for Egypt, it has no charms for me
4. My heart is so enraptured as I press along.
Each day I find new blessing which fill my hear 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
