IS NOT THIS THE LAND OF BEULAH?
VERSE
G C G D G
I am dwelling on the mountain, where the golden sunlight gleams
G C G D G
O’er a land whose wondrous beauty far exceeds my fondest dreams;
D G C G D G C G
Where the air is pure, ethereal, laden with the breath of flow’rs,
G C G D G
They are blooming by the fountain, ’Neath the amaranthine bow’rs
CHORUS
G C G C G
Is not this the land of Beulah? Blessed, blessed land of light,
G C G D G
Where the flowers bloom forever, And the sun is always bright!
VERSE 2
G C G D G
I can see far down the mountain, where I wandered weary years,
G C G D G
Often hindered in my journey by the ghosts of doubts and fears;
D G C G D G C G
Broken vows and disappointments thickly sprinkled all the way,
G C G D G
But the Spirit led, unerring, to the land I hold today.
VERSE 3
G C G D G
I am drinking from the fountain, Where I ever would abide;
G C G D G
For I’ve tasted life’s pure river, And my soul is satisfied;
D G C G D G C G
There’s no thirsting for life’s pleasures, Nor adorning, rich and gay,
G C G D G
For I’ve found a richer treasure, One that fadeth not away.
VERSE 4
G C G D G
Tell me not of heavy crosses, Nor of burdens hard to bear,
G C G D G
For I’ve found this great salvation makes each burden light appear;
D G C G D G C G
And I love to follow Jesus, gladly counting all but dross,
G C G D G
Worldly honors all forsaking for the glory of the cross.
