Lyrics

Oh, my cup is overflowing
With the goodness of the Lord;
I am trusting in His mercy,
And rejoicing in His Word.

Refrain

I have climbed the rugged mountain,
On its summit now I stand;
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
I have entered Beulah land.

From the sighing and the longing,
That so oft my heart oppressed,
With my Sav­ior and Re­deem­er
Now in perfect peace I rest.

Refrain

There’s a palace o’er the river
And its jasper walls I see,
And among its many mansions
There is one prepared for me.

Refrain

I have climbed the rugged mountain,
But my Sav­ior led the way;
Unto Him shall be the glo­ry,
When I reach eter­nal day.
