The lyrics convey a sense of homesickness for a place the singer has never been, yet eagerly anticipates. The song speaks of crossing a river and taking a heavenly flight, reflecting a Christian hope in the afterlife. It emphasizes faith turning into sight and the end of earthly labor.

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 some day on thee I'll stand 

There my home shall be eternal 

Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land


I'm looking now, just across the river

To where my faith, shall end in sight 

There's just a few more days to labor.

Then I will take my heavenly flight.


Beulah Land I'm longing for you 

And some day on thee I'll stand 

There my home shall be eternal 

Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land


Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land

Beulah Land, oh it's Beulah Land

Oh Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land
