"Tierra bendita y divina" (English: "Blessed and Divine Land"), also known as "Tierra de la Palestina" (English: "Land of Palestine"), is a traditional Spanish language Christian hymn derived from Cuba and composed by Robert C. Savage in 1954.[1] It describes the land of Palestine and the details of Jesus' life, and references several historical Israelite sites, including the Western Wall, the Mount of Beatitudes, and the Jaffa Gate.
