Sweet Beulah Land (Arrangement original/spontaneous, Song by Squire Parsons Jr.)

Details

Description

A time-favored classic, requested highly in every church I have ever been on staff at. I've played this at many funerals and in many other types of services, often singing it or having someone sing along. This song has brought comfort to millions. Here are the lyrics:

Sweet Beulah Land

Verse 1
I'm kind of homesick for a country
To which I've never been before
No sad good-byes will there be spoken
For time won't matter anymore

Chorus
Beulah land I am longing for you
And someday on Thee I'll stand
Where my home shall be eternal
Beulah land sweet Beulah land

Verse 2
I'm looking now across the river
Where my faith will end in sight
There's just a few more days to labor
Then I will take my heav’nly flight

Verse 3 (We often don't include this verse)
I see the lights I hear the singing
A brand new song of joy divine
My soul rejoices just in knowing
That soon these pleasures will be mine
