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! Refrain 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! Refrain 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. Refrain 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. Refrain
