  1. 1I am dwelling on a mountain,
  2. Where the golden sunlight gleams
  3. O’er a land whose wondrous beauty
  4. Far exceeds my fondest dreams;
  5. Where the air is pure, ethereal,
  6. Laden with the breath of flowers,
  7. That are blooming by the fountain,
  8. ’Neath the amaranthine bowers.
  9. Is not this the land of Beulah?
  10. Blessed, blessed land of light;
  11. Where the flowers bloom forever,
  12. And the sun is always bright.
  13. 2I can see far down the mountain,
  14. Where I wandered weary years,
  15. Often hindered in my journey,
  16. By the ghosts of doubt and fears;
  17. Broken vows and disappointments
  18. Thickly scattered all the way.
  19. Let them there; I’ve found my Saviour;
  20. He has been my strength and stay.
  21. Is not this the land of Beulah?
  22. Blessed, blessed land of light;
  23. Where the flowers bloom forever,
  24. And the sun is always bright.
  25. 3I am drinking at the fountain,
  26. Where I ever would abide;
  27. For I’ve tasted life’s pure river,
  28. And my soul is satisfied.
  29. There’s no thirst for earthly pleasures,
  30. Nor adornments rich and gay,
  31. For I’ve found a richer treasure,
  32. One that fadeth not away.
  33. Is not this the land of Beulah?
  34. Blessed, blessed land of light;
  35. Where the flowers bloom forever,
  36. And the sun is always bright.
  37. 4Oh! The cross has wondrous glory;
  38. Oft I’ve proved this to be true;
  39. When I’m in the way so narrow,
  40. I can see a pathway through;
  41. And how sweetly Jesus whispers,
  42. “Take the cross, thou need’st not fear;
  43. I have tried this way before thee,
  44. And the glory lingers near.”
  45. Is not this the land of Beulah?
  46. Blessed, blessed land of light;
  47. Where the flowers bloom forever,
  48. And the sun is always bright.
