Land of Beulah

Author: Anon. Hymnal: GA1888 #4 (1888) Person Name: Anon. First Line: I am dwelling on the mountain Refrain First Line: Is this not the land of Beulah Lyrics: 1. I am dwelling on the 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 flow'rs, That are blooming by the fountain, 'Neath the amaranthine bow'rs. Chorus: 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 wander'd weary years, Often hinder'd in my journey, By the ghosts of doubts and fears, Broken vows and disappointments, Thickly sprinkled all the way, But the Spirit led unerring, To the land I hold today. [Chorus] 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 thirsting for life's pleasures, Nor adorning, rich and gay; For I've found a richer treasure, One that fadeth not away. [Chorus] 4. Tell me not of heavy crosses, Nor of burdens hard to bear; For I've found this great salvation, Makes each burden light appear; And I love to follow Jesus, Gladly counting all but dross, Worldly honors all forsaking, For the glory of the Cross. [Chorus] 5. Oh! the Cross has wondrous glory! Oft I've prov'd 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; For I've tried this way before thee, And the glory lingers near." [Chorus] Tune Title: [I am dwelling on the mountain]

Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea, Or demons, or men, or whatever it be, No water can swallow the ship where lies The Master of ocean, and earth, and skies; They all shall sweetly obey My will, Peace! be still! Peace! be still! They all shall sweetly obey My will; Peace! peace! be still! 2. Master, with anguish of spirit I bow in my grief today; The depths of my sad heart are troubled; Oh, waken and save, I pray! Torrents of sin and of anguish Sweep o'er my sinking soul; And I perish! I perish! dear Master; Oh hasten, and take control. [Chorus] 3. Master, the terror is over, The elements sweetly rest; Earth's sun in the calm lake is mirrored, And heaven's within my breast; Linger, O blessed Redeemer; Leave me alone no more; And with joy I shall make the blest harbor, And rest on the blissful shore.
