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. Refrain: We are nearing home! We are nearing home! See the splendor 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. 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. 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. 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.
This song warms my heart so much! And the way the saints are singing it with joy and conviction is very inspiring. Let's get ready brothers and sisters we are nearing home. We're much closer than we first believed! Love one another, pray for each other, get rid of hatred and bigotry, live godly lives, listen to the promoting of the Holy Spirit, spend more time on prayer, we are going home! Let's pack up, pray up, because we are going up! Hallelujah!!! Thank you Jesus!

This is such a heart-warming rendition of the The Blessed Hope summarized in song.. My late father's favorite. hymn. From Trinidad.
I hope the next hymnal committee puts this hymn back in the new hymnal
I totally agree!
Well rendered!! This song has been on my mind for the entire week. Praise be to God.
Indeed a beautiful song to welcome the Sabbath!
Beautiful! I surely cannot be long now! Blessed hope! Come Lord Jesus!

You really captured the liveliness and hopefulness of the song. Well done. Can tell me the hymn number? I can't find it.
Sterek Hallinski It's 642 in the old hymnal.
Why that looking like Laventille so?
Or Africa.
@@imafemale4365 That is NOT Africa.
@@adamaelewis2426 whoa! Patner...calm down. It just look like a town in my country. There is no need to be hostile.
I was wondering if it's Trinidad myself.
