I am dwelling on the mountain.....
Where the golden sunlight gleams.....
O'er a land of wondrous beauty......
Far exceeds my fondest dreams....
Where the air is pure so sweet to taste.....
Laden with the breath of God.....
O I'm in the land of promise..........
Over in the great beyond.....
The Chorus:
O I'm in the land of promise....
Blessed, blessed land of light.....
Where the flowers bloom forever....
And the sun is always bright.......
Where the air is pure so sweet to taste.....
Laden with the breath of God.....
O I'm in the land of promise..........
Over in the great beyond.....
Verse Two:
I can see far down the mountain.....
Where I wandered many years......
Often hindered in my journey........
By the ghosts of doubts and fears......
Broken vows and disappointments.........
Thickly sprinkled all the way....
But the Spirit led unerring.........
To the land I hold today.....
Verse Three:
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 array........
For I've found a richer treasure.....
One that fadeth not away.....
Verse Four:
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......
Verse Five:
O the cross has wondrous glory.....
Oft I've proved this to be true.....
When I'm on the way so narrow.......
I can see a pathway through.....
And how sweetly Jesus whispers....
"Take the cross and not the crown....
For I've gone the way before thee....
And the glory's coming down....."
The Chorus:
O I'm in the land of promise....
Blessed, blessed land of light.....
Where the flowers bloom forever....
And the sun is always bright.......
Where the air is pure so sweet to taste.....
Laden with the breath of God.....
O I'm in the land of promise..........
Over in the great beyond.....
Tag
O I'm in the land of promise......
Over in the great beyond........
