Hit in the Head with a Hymn Book (s1e4) - The Land of Beulah (and a Technical Glitch)

Ever heard a hymn title so strange you had to know the story? Join Jeff Dixon on "Hit in the Head with a Hymn Book" as he unravels the mystery behind "Beulah Land"—a song he once thought was about a woman named Beulah!
Discover the incredible journey of this hymn, from its author—a Mayflower descendant, Civil War veteran, and riverboat pilot—to its biblical roots in the book of Isaiah. Learn how the Hebrew word for "married" became a powerful metaphor for Heaven, and why writing it brought its creator, Edgar Stites, to his knees in tears.
It's a story of faith so profound, we just had to share it... though you'll want to stick around to see what happens when we try to perform it!
