We Are Nearing Home | Songs and Everlasting Joy

All of the inhabitants of earth can feel a shift in the last couple of years. Something is changing. As believers, we realise that the times are getting closer to the second coming of Jesus. The signs of the times that He has told us about in Matthew 24 are becoming a reality all around us. We are nearing home.
Thank you to the lovely listener who requested this beautiful hymn! It was another one I didn't know and I am happy to now know it! What a message of uplifting encouragement. We can all continue in the difficulties life throws at us because we know we are nearing home.
I am making my way through your requests as I am able. Thank you so much for taking the time to send me new hymns to sing!
We Are Nearing Home
Verse 1
Just over the mountains in the Promised Land,
Lies the holy city built by God’s own hand;
As our weary footsteps gain the mountain’s crest,
We can view our homeland of eternal rest.
Chorus
We are nearing home! We are nearing home!
See the splendour gleaming from the domes afar!
See the glory streaming through the “gates ajar!”
There we soon will enter, nevermore to roam,
Hear the angels singing!
We are nearing home!
We are nearing home.
Verse 2
In the rolls of the prophets we have long been told
Of that wondrous city with its streets of gold;
Now with raptured vision we can see it there,
With its walls of jasper and its mansions fair.
Verse 3
Those who enter that city are the faithful few
Who keep God’s commandments - faith of Jesus, too;
There we’ll lift our voices through the endless days,
In sweet songs of gladness and in psalms of praise.
Verse 4
My brother, my sister, will you meet us there,
In that land of sunshine where there’ll be no care?
Accept of God’s message, and to Him be true;
Then when Jesus cometh He will call for you.
