Blest land of Judea thrice hallowed of song	A
Where the holiest of memories pilgrim like throng	A
In the shade of thy palms by the shores of thy sea	B
On the hills of thy beauty my heart is with thee	B
	-
With the eye of a spirit I look on that shore	C
Where pilgrim and prophet have lingered before	C
With the glide of a spirit I traverse the sod	D
Made bright by the steps of the angels of God	D
	-
Blue sea of the hills in my spirit I hear	E
Thy waters Genasseret chime on my ear	E
Where the Lowly and Just with the people sat down	F
And thy spray on the dust of His sandals was thrown	G
	-
Beyond are Bethulia's mountains of green	H
And the desolate hills of the wild Godarene	H
And I pause on the goat crags of Tabor to see	B
The gleam of thy waters oh dark Gallilee	I
	-
Hark a sound in the vallies where swollen and strong	A
Thy river oh Kishon is sweeping along	A
Where the Canaanite strove with Jehovah in vain	H
And thy torrent grew dark with the blood of the slain	H
	-
There down from his mountains stern Zebulon came	J
And Naphtali's stag with his eye balls of flame	J
And the chariots of Jabin rolled harmlessly on	H
For the arm of the Lord was Abinoam's son	H
	-
There sleep the still rocks and the caverns which rang	K
To the song which the beautiful Prophetess sang	K
When the Princes of Issachar stood by her side	L
And the shout of a host in its triumph replied	L
	-
Lo Bethlehem's hill site before me is seen	H
With the mountains around and the vallies between	H
There rested the shepherds of Judah and there	M
The song of the angels rose sweet on the air	M
	-
And Bethany's palm trees in beauty still throw	N
Their shadows at noon on the ruins below	N
But where are the sisters who hastened to greet	O
The lowly Redeemer and sit at His feet	O
	-
I tread where the TWELVE in their wayfaring trod	D
I stand where they stood with the CHOSEN of GOD	D
Where his blessing was heard and his lessons were taught	P
Where the blind were restored and the healing was wrought	P
	-
Oh here with his flock the sad Wanderer came	J
These hills he toiled over in grief are the same	J
The founts where he drank by the wayside still flow	N
And the same airs are blowing which breathed on his brow	Q
	-
And throned on her hills sits Jerusalem yet	R
But with dust on her forehead and chains on her feet	O
For the crown of her pride to the mocker hath gone	H
And the holy Shechinah is dark where it shone	H
	-
But wherefore this dream of the earthly abode	S
Of Humanity clothed in the brightness of God	D
Were my spirit but turned from the outward and dim	T
It could gaze even now on the presence of Him	T
	-
Not in clouds and in terrors but gentle as when	H
In love and in meekness he moved among men	H
And the voice which breathed peace to the waves of the sea	B
In the hush of my spirit would whisper to me	B
	-
And what if my feet may not tread where He stood	U
Nor my ears hear the dashing of Gallilee's flood	V
Nor my eyes see the cross which He bowed him to bear	M
Nor my knees press Gethsemane's garden of prayer	M
	-
Yet Loved of the Father Thy spirit is near	W
To the meek and the lowly and penitent here	E
And the voice of thy love is the same even now	Q
As at Bethany's tomb or on Olivet's brow mdash	X
	-
Oh the outward hath gone but in glory and power	Y
The SPIRIT surviveth the things of an hour	Y
Unchanged undecaying its Pentecost flame	J
On the heart's secret altar is burning the same	J
