Triumph

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 srayed midst hist'ries ruins

Their glories past to see,

But God has planned my future-

And that's enough for me.
