Second Posting if you have not viewed this song video please consider it, you will be blessed. This is a Squire Parsons hymn, sung by Squire Parsons and arranged with scenic views and animations. I’d like to say; this is beautifully arranged footage with a wonderful singer and songwriter! Enjoy! Thanks for viewing!

Thanks for sharing this. “Beulah Land” is a Methodist hymn from 1876 whic, sadly, is no longer in the United Methodist Hymnal.

Thanks, I love to hear Squire Parsons.
And it brings back memories as a child growing up in a valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains. What a wonderful time that was.

My great grandfather may have sung this parody of "Beulah Land" in the 1890's:

Nebraska land, Nebraska land,
Upon thy burning soil I stand.
I look away across the plains
And wonder why it never rains.
I look away across the plains
And wonder why it never rains.

Thank you so much for posting this!
Squire Parsons is my all time favorite singer and Sweet Beulah Land is my all time favorite song!
I truly am longing for “Sweet Beulah Land”!

[Revski]

Amen and Amen! Thanks.

I didn’t know the denominational side of the song, thanks and yes is sad that the has been left out.

Yes I also was raised in the country and children have no idea the wonderful things to grow up by because I am now in Florida and this state now has lots of city life.

[Revski]

Thanks you kindly!

I never heard the parody to the song and the words you have written have a prayerful cry.

Indeed, they do. The drought that began in 1890 devastated western Nebraska, and the calamity was exacerbated by the depression that started in 1893. Sometime during those years, my great grandparents, along with my grandfather, an infant or a toddler, left their farm in Nebraska and set out for Colorado to start a new life.

Thanks for your wonderful story. It is nice to know about our grandparents and in our modern day there grandparents. So many people do not know their heritage. Thanks for your comments historical facts.
