Author: F. E. B. Hymnal: Christ in Song #54 (1908) First Line: Are you tenting on the lowlands Lyrics: 1 Are you tenting on the lowlands
Of the fated, flow'ry plain?
Are you nearing life's high mountains,
As the night comes on again?
Chorus:
Keep tenting toward the highlands,
Each evening nearer home,
Keep tenting toward the highlands,
Keep tenting nearer home.
2 Does fair Sodom in her glory
Beckon you with ease or gain?
Heed her awful judgment story;
Linger not, her joys are vain. [Chorus]
3 To the mountains of salvation!
Hear the angel, Mercy, call;
Do not tarry! look not backward!
Hasten on ere vengeance fall. [Chorus] Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance; Living His Life Nearer to God; The Home Eternal Nearing Home; Special Selections Duets Languages: English Tune Title: [Are you tenting on the lowlands]
