Is Not This the Land of Beulah? Lyrics

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

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

But the Spirit led unerring to the land I hold today

Is not this the land of Beulah? Blessed, blessed land of light

Where the flowers bloom forever, and the sun is always bright?

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 adorning rich and gay

For I've found a richer treasure, one that fadeth not away

Tell me not of heavy crosses, nor the 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

Is not this the land of Beulah? Blessed, blessed land of light

Where the flowers bloom forever, and the sun is always bright?

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

For I've trod the way before thee, and the glory lingers near"

Is not this the land of Beulah? Blessed, blessed land of light

Where the flowers bloom forever, and the sun is always bright?

Is not this the land of Beulah? Blessed, blessed land of light

Where the flowers bloom forever, and the sun is always bright?
