Triumphs

I've never climbed a mountain high;
Perhaps I never will.
But I have walked in fellowship
With God upon a hill.

I've never braved a torrent,
'Tis much too wild for me.
But I have stood by waters still
And heard God speak to me.

I've never been to royal court
And bowed before a king;
But I shall kneel before God's throne
And hear the angels sing.

I've never lived in foreign lands,
Though pleasant it would be,
But I shall dwell in Beulah Land
Beside the crystal sea.

I've never strolled in marbled halls
Their beauty fair to see,
But I have been on Holy Ground
For God was there with me.

I've never seen a battle fought
Upon a bloody field,
But I have seen Life's vict'ries won
Upon Golgotha's Hill.

I've never crossed the ocean
Or channel deep and wide,
But I shall cross o'er Jordan
With Jesus by my side.

I've never felt an earthquake's rage-
I hope 'twill never be,
But I have felt God's still, small voice
Bring peace and joy to me.

I've never strayed midst hist'ries ruins
Their glories past to see,
But God has planned my future-
And that's enough for me.
