Is not this the land of Beulah

Author: Anon Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: I am drinking at the fountain Lyrics: 1 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 pleasure, Nor adorning, rich and gay, For I’ve found a richer treasure, One that fadeth not away. Refrain: Is not this the land of Beulah, Blessèd, blessèd land of light, Where the flowers bloom for ever And the sun is always bright? Refrain: *By the pathway of duty Flows the river of God’s grace; By the pathway of duty Flows the river of God’s grace. 2 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 honours all forsaking For the glory of the cross. 3 O 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 needst not fear, For I’ve trod the way before thee And the glory lingers near.

Person Name: Anon Author of "Is not this the land of Beulah" in The Song Book of the Salvation Army In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
