Is Not This the Land of Beulah?

Appears in 205 hymnals First Line: I am dwelling on a mountain Refrain First Line: Is not this the land of Beulah Lyrics: 1 I am dwelling on a mountain, Where the golden sunlight gleams O’er a land whose wondrous beauty Far exceeds my fondest dreams; Where the air is pure, ethereal, Laden with the breath of flowers, That are blooming by the fountain, ’Neath the amaranthine bowers. Refrain: Is not this the land of Beulah? Blessed, blessed land of light; Where the flowers bloom forever, And the sun is always bright. 2 I can see far down the mountain, Where I wandered weary years, Often hindered in my journey, By the ghosts of doubt and fears; Broken vows and disappointments Thickly scattered all the way. Let them there; I’ve found my Saviour; He has been my strength and stay. [Refrain] 3 I am drinking at the fountain, Where I ever would abide; For I’ve tasted life’s pure river, And my soul is satisfied. There’s no thirst for earthly pleasures, Nor adornments rich and gay, For I’ve found a richer treasure, One that fadeth not away. [Refrain] 4 Oh! The cross has wondrous glory; Oft I’ve proved this to be true; When I’m in the way so narrow, I can see a pathway through; And how sweetly Jesus whispers, “Take the cross, thou need’st not fear; I have tried this way before thee, And the glory lingers near.” [Refrain] Topics: Land of Promise Used With Tune: [I am dwelling on a mountain]
