Heard this song at one of The Petersens’ performances in Branson, MO. Oh how I cried! This song made me think of my beloved late grandparents whom I lost in 2019. Thank you so much for such a beautiful performance of this wonderful song!
My grandpa sang this to his father as he was dying, my grandma sang it to my grandpa as he died Monday 10.25.2021. I'd never heard it before, but it was my grandpa's favorite. Thank you for helping me to hear the song He loved so much.
I had fallen into sin and there was a barrier of shame between me and my maker. I repented, and going forward decided to saturate myself in God’s word and music. Since then I’ve had His word in my ear, and because of your great music, His songs in my heart. You’ll never know how much these songs mean to me. They are an effective treatment for many an aching soul. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing.

What beautiful voices and family you have no idea how your music help me through the lost of my daughter just 2 years ago this April she was 17 and when I fill as if God has left me I have been able to find one of your family’s songs that reminds me I only need to trust him thank you and God bless you and your family
This song was one of my mother's favorites. She died in July of 2021 after a long battle with covid. There are no words to describe how much I miss her. Life has changed for me and not for the better. I love the Lord and I know I belong to Him but I am so bitter over my mother's passing that I cant see or feel anything else. You guys sang it beautifully.
I always come back to this song. Played this at my mother's funeral in March. Absolute best version, bar none, that I've ever heard. Matt's harmony, Emmet's dobro, Ellen's voice and rest of family makes this a 99.999999999999999999999% perfect song. Thank you and God Bless.
@@jej3451 As a Christian/disciple of Christ, I (and all disciples of Christ) should be working to make our current earthly home into heaven here on earth. But......at this time it's not, so I'm not sure if there can be a perfect song/anything at this time. So while to me it sounds perfect (and my personal favorite song by the Petersens) I have no concrete answer to offer to your question. Does that answer your question? Or more questions to follow? LOL. Merry Christmas.
seems to be a theme, but also used this at my mother's funeral this past February. My grandmothers name actually was Beulah, that's what sort of led me to even finding this and discovering this beautiful song, and the Peterson's wonderful music and family as well!
Hello I am from Russia and I am in love with your voices I do not even know what is sung in the songs but this is not necessary because I hear you with my soul thank you for bringing light and good to this world and remind us that we are all small before something higher I wish everyone peace and good
Эта красивая песня о небесах. С нетерпением ждет пересечения реки на небеса, чтобы быть с Иисусом. Сладкая земля Беула ..... там моя вечная вечность. (This beautiful song is about Heaven. It is looking forward to crossing the river to Heaven to be with Jesus. Sweet Beulah Land.....there my own shall be eternal). I don't speak Russian.....I just used Google translate. I hope it did a good job.
@@game_stoper5062 Добро пожаловать! И я надеюсь, что вы сможете послушать, как эти удивительные сестры поют. Они так хорошо поют. ua-cam.com/video/ACo7PmTUIKY/v-deo.html
I was an Ag Teacher/ FFA advisor in Alabama for 37 years until I retired in 2012. I had several outstanding String bands and Quartets . I have probably heard Beulah Land 500 times at our State Convention but never as well as you do it . Outstanding group I enjoy your music very much.
Hi guys and gals. I am 55 years old now but when I was in the USAF at the dreaded Minot AFB, which I still love, I was volunteered by the hospital commander to sing at an Officers Club function. My commander played his 1950's Gibson and I sang "Annie's Song" By John Denver. I blew the words to the second verse but I decided very quickly to make a comedic effort. When I finished the song we received a standing ovation. I was sent to Wilford Hall in San Antonio TX after my time in Minot. I became very ill and it was determined I had developed asthma and severe allergies. I guess a lot of people do that when they go to Texas for an extended tour. I did some singing when I could but my airways were injured enough to cause difficulty singing. I was discharged after almost 16 years of one form of military service or another. I began my career as an airman Basic and ended it as a captain. While in college studying nursing I was in the US Army Reserves and stationed in UAE during Desert Storm/Shield. Unlike my brothers I never experienced combat but my career did result in physical and emotional injuries, which have ended my ability to function as a nurse. For 5 years (Until Covid 19) I was acquiring and giving stringed instruments to children in my small community. I would teach them what I could and when I didn't know something we learned together. I would also sing and play for them on demand. I am now able to sing again albeit a little differently but with some strength. I also have acquired a small digital recording device, which will allow me to record multiple tracks. My goal for now is to develop a small amount screen presence so I can show the children (After Covid) how easy it is to share themselves safely with the world. You have inspired me to learn some of the Bluegrass techniques you have developed for yourselves. Your Gospel efforts are beautiful and while I cannot go to church due to the use of colognes and perfumes by the rest of the congregation I still celebrate the words in my own way. I have always believed in playing for the self and then to share. This way you learn who your music is for. I thank you for reminding me of a way to learn that is rewarding for myself and those around me.
I was looking for a rendition of this song to send to a friend. I listened to Jamey Johnson and Shenandoah and they were musically very good. Allison Kraus's voice is always beautiful. But this one ... This one gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes. I have no idea why. Maybe it was the pretty gal singing. Maybe it was the lovely harmonies. I think it was because they understand, above the other singers, what they are actually singing about and the Spirit was in it. Thank you.
Ellen, you are absolutely AMAZING singing this song. You and The Petersens are in a class by yourself when it comes to genuine talent and musicianship!
My gosh, this is just stunningly beautiful. I was moved to tears. The lead vocal was powerful, and what great support from the harmony and instruments. Wow!
One of my faves. Ellen's wonderful rendition is so marvelously backed by her super bandmates. This number makes me feel like I already have one foot in Paradise.
Only Jesus can redeem us from our sins and bring us home to Heaven (Beulah Land) . He is the resurrection and the life. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. He is the way, the truth and the life. So 'art'/ music is nice.........but it cannot redeem a man's life from the grave. Only Jesus can. Trust Jesus!
@@glennericksenmusic , The Kingdom of God is within You and around You; not in wooden or stone buildings. Crack a splinter and I will be there; Lift a stone and you will find Me. Listen to a melody and I will be in your notes.
My favorite gospel song. I remember Mom singing this as she made breakfast on Sunday morning. You guys moved me to tears ...great performance. What a blessing.
Regardless of your faith, one cannot help but recognize the absolute beauty of this music. In a time of such great disruption, this is exactly what is needed. Best wishes for health, safety, and peace to our American neighbours from the “We the North” in Canada.
I had this played at my husband's funeral in 1999 I wish I could have had your version of this, you sing so beautiful it brought back so many sweet memories of our life and love. It's been so long since I lost him and I still miss him so much
@@davidhintz1 how about rivers of living water? I used to sing this in my car when I was born again. What a beautiful song. They're music so refreshing.
"Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely." Psalms 147:1 Thank you Petersen family. You soothe my soul.
Jeez, hadn’t heard this in forever. This is one of those songs I remember where I last heard it, even though it was over 5 years ago now. I was 16, and playing guitar for a nursing home when one of the gentlemen living there asked to play this song with us. Bob the leader nodded his head, and began picking a soft melody while I watched his fingers to make a rhythm. Hearing all the members of the nursing home sing along in the chorus is one thing I’ll never forget, nor the work Mr. Bob had put into me and helping me with music. God, I wish I could go back....
Oh my God heard this live in Cork Ireland last night it was absolutely amazing, the whole night was magical talk about a talented family and Emmet was wonderful ❤❤
When my heart is burdened, you make my eyes water with joy and my heart blesses God. Your music lifts my soul. The grace of Christ surrounds me when I listen to you. Thank you.
Godly young people singing praises to God. It just don’t get any better than this! Please keep this alive young people, you are the church of the future! Should God tarry! Amen
*LYRICS - Sweet Beulah Land*
------------
I'm kind of homesick for a country
To which 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
And there my home shall be eternal
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land
I'm looking now across that river
To where my faith is gonna end in sight
A few more days I'll wait in labor
And then I'll take my heavenly flight
Beulah Land, I'm longing for you
And someday on thee I'll stand
And there my home shall be eternal
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land

This was my great grandmothers song and probably the first gospel song I ever remember Oh I’m longing for you…
Amen I'm homesick for heaven😢

I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you.
So sorry for your loss.
May Her Memory Be a Blessing
So sorry you've had to go through this Bro. Thank God, as The Petersens said, You're not alone.

The Petersens, in addition to being excellent musicians and all great singers, interpret all the songs masterfully and really sing from the heart!
If the angels in heaven sing like this I might spend most of eternity with tears in my eyes.
Never really paid attention to the words of this song until now! What wonderful hope we have in Jesus.
Lead singer’s voice…..absolute perfection. What a family!
Divine! Yes I'm homesick too.
This is an absolutely beautiful version of this song
Ellen, you are absolutely AMAZING singing this song. You and The Petersens are in a class by yourself when it comes to genuine talent and musicianship!
One of my favorite songs and you all sing it beautifully
The hope of the elderly voiced through the eyes of the young. Beautiful!
LIstening to Ellen sing this song in harmony with her family breaks my heart a little bit from the beauty of it.
My gosh, this is just stunningly beautiful. I was moved to tears. The lead vocal was powerful, and what great support from the harmony and instruments. Wow!
My sweet Mike. You loved this song. Im so glad you are there at home now. Our love is forever and i will see you when i get there.
