Dwelling in Beulah Land #517 v.1,3,4
Meaning of the song: Beulah means married. “It indicatesthe delight the Lord will have in His land with His people in its future state of blessing. This marriage relationship is used to portray God’s relationship with His people. Have you heard the analogy of Christ being the groom and the church being the bride? Beulah land is married land.”
