Over deze songtekst:
John R. Sweney (1837 - 1899) was een componist uit West Chester, Pennsylvania, VS.
Edgar Page Stites (1836–1921) schreef de tekst.
Het woord Beulah land komt uit Jesaja 62: 4 (King James Bilble) waar wordt gesproken over 'Het land van Gods Welbehagen'. Na de verbanning van de Israelieten naar Babylon keerden de mensen terug naar hun eigen land.
En daar "they shall no longer be called Forsaken, but Hephzibah (My Delight Is in Her), and Jerusalem shall no longer be called Desolate, but Beulah (Married)." Citaat uit de King James bijbel vertaling.
Beulah land, I'm longing for you And someday, on thee I'll stand Where my home shall be eternal Beulah land, sweet Beulah land I'm kind of homesick for a country Where I've never been before No sad goodbyes will there be spoken For time won't matter anymore Beulah land, I'm longing for you And someday, on thee I'll stand Where my home shall be eternal Beulah land, sweet Beulah land I'm looking now across the river Where my faith is gonna end in sight There's just a few more days to labor And then I'll take my heavenly flight Beulah land, I'm longing for you And someday, on thee I'll stand Where my home shall be eternal Beulah land, sweet Beulah land Beulah land, I'm longing for you And someday, on thee I'll stand Where my home shall be eternal Beulah land, sweet Beulah land Where my home shall be eternal Beulah land, sweet Beulah land
