Pilgrim’s Progress Part 21: The Dark River

On The Border of Heaven Beautiful Beulah Land I'm living on the mountain, underneath a cloudless sky I'm drinking at the fountain, that never shall run dry I'm feasting on the manna, from a bountiful supply For I'm dwelling in Beulah Land! The Groom awaits His Bride!

“My Delight Is In Her” You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate, but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the LORD delights in you…. As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.

The Pilgrims’ Last Challenge No other way to the City Only as deep as your faith
