Is Not This the Land of Beulah Lyrics & Chords

By Harriet W. Requa & Ralph E. Hudson

Verse 1

(G)I am dwelling on the (C)mountain,

Where the (G)golden (D)sunlight (G)gleams

O’er a land whose wondrous (C)beauty

Far (G)exceeds my (D)fondest (G)dreams,

(D)Where the (G)air is (C)pure, ethe(G)real,

(D)Laden (G)with the (C)breath of (G)flowers,

They are blooming by the (C)fountain,

’Neath the (G)ama(D)ranthine (G)bow’rs.



Chorus

(G)Is not this the (C)Land of (G)Beulah?

Blessèd, blessèd (C)land of (G)light;

Where the flowers bloom (C)forever,

And the (G)sun is (D)always (G)bright.



Verse 2

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 sprinkled all the way,

But the Spirit led, unerring,

To the land I hold today.



Chorus

Is not this the Land of Beulah?

Blessèd, blessèd land of light;

Where the flowers bloom forever,

And the sun is always bright.



Verse 3

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 pleasures,

Nor adorning rich and gay,

For I’ve found a richer treasure,

One that fadeth not away.



Verse 4

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.
