Lyrics:
I am dwelling on a mountain
where the golden sunlight gleams
in a land whose wondrous beauty
far exceeds my fondest dreams
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 thirsting for life's treasure
nor adorning rich and gay
for i've found a richer treasure
one that fadeth not away
For i've found a richer treasure
one that fadeth not away
Scriptural reference:
"you will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance-- the place, o lord, you made for your dwelling, the sanctuary, o lord, your hands established." exodus 15:17
