Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: SWEET BEULAH LAND
Does anyone have the sheet music for "Sweet Beulah Land," Squire Parsons Jr.? There are two 'last' verses not included in the post by WYSIWYG. Is either or both in the sheet music?

There my home shall be eternal,
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land.
Beulah Land, Beulah Land,
Beulah Land, Sweet Beulah Land.

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.

Hear Mike Perkey sing "Beulah Land," based on the Squire Parsons song. Beulah Land
Here are his words- not very different, but easier to copy than to explain."

Beulah Land (Mike Perkey)

I'm homesick for a city
To which I've never been before
No sad good bye's will ever be spoken
For time won't matter anymore.

Beulah Land, I'm longing for you
And someday on thee I'll stand
There my home shall be eternal
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land.

Oh now I'm looking, well I'm looking for a river
Where my faith is going to end insight
Oh there's just a few more days
We're going to have to labor
Then I will take my Heavenly flight.

Beulah Land, I'm longing for you
And someday on thee I'll stand
There my home shall be eternal
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land.
