Chorus: Vale of Beulah! Vale of Beulah! Thou art precious to me; For the lovely land of Canaan In the distance I see. 2 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.
