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