For those who don't know. Those tears are tears of joy. A joy unspeakable, unexplainable, a peace that surpasses all understanding.......joy in the truth that Jesus is our savior, God is our father and those that are with us are more than those that are with them
Please everybody, GET READY!!!! WE WILL BE IN HEAVEN SOON! Two or 3 months ago I had 2 very vivid dreams of Heaven, and in both dreams I experienced this undying peace that I never have felt in my life before, and I'm starting to feel it sweep over me... The darkest night is just before the dawn. Jesus is fixing to take us all Home. How soon I don't know, but He is coming back for us! Pray for everyone you've ever known in your life, and ask God to watch over them and protect them. Lord be with us all, and place Your hedge of protection and Your blanket of Peace upon all of Your children. Be with the situation between Russia and the Ukraine, minister unto Vladimir Putin's heart as only You can, Lord. Be with us all until we reach Your Heavenly shore, I pray this in the name of Jesus, AMEN.
If I remember right, this is the video that started it all. Bill just decided to record at the last minute during an impromptu get-together. The spirit moved so greatly he knew he had to do more, and he planned and prepared for it. If it's not the very first it's early. Been so long I'm not sure, but I remember watching the first time it aired, thinking more was needed. And so the Gaither homecoming series began.
You are correct. It was just meant to be a get together of gospel singers but it was aired on some TV stations & there was a demand for more & the rest of history.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart. This is a song overflowing with emotions. When you walk with God you are always grateful. May the peace of God and blessings be with all and extend to their offsprings, families and friends.
I am so "HAPPY" to see this. Vestal made everything she touched alot better than she left it. Breaks my heart she's gone. I have a fear of dying yet I've been a Christian my entire life and still attend church. I cried with her because it's gotta be better than the things of earth.
I love the lyrics to this song! So beautiful. I wanted to tell anyone reading this something really important. One day we are all going to stand before God. If you have ever lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain (omg) which is called blasphemy , hated someone (which God consideres murder) or done other things that are against His law ( the Ten Commandments), He sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, murderer. He will judge us, and because we have all broken His law, we ALL deserve hell. But because He loves us, He became a human about two thousand years ago, lived without sinning, and died a terrible death He didn’t deserve because of us. Three days later He rose from the dead and one day He is coming back. We all deserve the ultimate punishment (hell). But God loves us so much that He took the punishment on Himself. We broke Gods law, Jesus paid the fine. If you repent from your sins ( sincerely apologize for breaking His law and turn away from doing it anymore) and trust in Him and Him only, your punishment will be paid for, you will get eternal life in heaven, and you will no longer go to hell. I’m not telling you this to judge you. The thought of you going to hell terrifies me. I don’t want anyone to go without hearing this wonderful news. Thank you whoever took the time to read this. If you have a Bible, I suggest you read the book of John. You can find many Bible apps on devices. I pray that you and everyone who reads this will think about this seriously. And I hope to see you in heaven. Check out livingwaters RUclips channel and livingwaters.com and also fullyfreefilms.com for a movie called Exit that deals with depression and suicide.
Thank you Vanessa, for that beautiful comment. It truly will touch many through the decades it is read on here. Bless you mycdesr from my old 79 year old heart. I was lucky to have seen many of these groups when they sang for us and for God at my small church in Ioea revivals. We were all blessed and didn't want the hours to ever end. We sang along . Never such a feeling as lifting the Lord up in one worship. ⚘🎶🙏⚘
Bill & Gloria Gaither Until Then My heart can sing when I pause to remember A heartache here is but a stepping stone Along a trail that's winding always upward, This troubled world is not my final home. But until then my heart will go on singing, Until then with joy I'll carry on, Until the day my eyes behold the city, Until the day God calls me home. The things of earth will dim and lose their value If we recall they're borrowed for awhile; And things of earth that cause the heart to tremble, Remembered there will only bring a smile. But until then my heart will go on singing, Until then with joy I'll carry on, Until the day my eyes behold the city, Until the day God calls me home. This weary world with all its toil and struggle May take its toll of misery and strife; The soul of man is like a waiting falcon; When it's released, it's destined for the skies. But until then my heart will go on singing, Until then with joy I'll carry on, Until the day my eyes behold the city, Until the day God calls me home.
WOW! We need to keep on singing this more and more!!! Also what a special memory to see so many that are now in their eternal home. Precious saints! And Mark Lowry with a mullet haricut and Jake Hess with hair : ) Must have been done in the 1980's?? Thank you Bill & Gloria Gaither for so many wonderful memories with Homecoming friends!!!
@@brenthandycts131 No. “On February 19, 1992, the Gaither Vocal Band had just wrapped up a recording session in a Nashville, Tennessee, working on an album called Homecoming, which featured many of the great voices of southern gospel music: The Speers, The Gatlins, Jake Hess, The Cathedrals, Howard & Vestal Goodman, Buck Rambo, Eva Mae Lefevre, James Blackwood, Hovie Lister, Jim Hill, and J.D. Sumner & The Stamps. After the session, the artists stayed around to chat, swap stories and sing old standards around the piano.[1] The impromptu session was recorded on video and later published. The recording was so well received that Gaither began a series of professionally produced videos with larger gatherings of gospel musicians.” THIS is that video.

Joann Wood You win! 1950?? Good grief! Was that pre-wig / Nabisco on WSB, etc? That would have been 2 years after Hovie founded The Statesmen if memory serves.
ILovestorms Jake was the real deal. The time or two I had to chat with him (while he was "back with" the Statesmen) are among my peak lifetime moments.
I recognize Bill Gaither, Vestal and Howard Goodman, James Blackwood, Jake Hess, Mark Lowry and Michael English. Can anyone help with some of the others? If I wasn't watching on my phone, I may be able to identify others, but maybe not.
In the back there’s Jim Hill. Sitting in the middle is Eva Mae Lefevre. Front left is George Younce, and I don’t see him clearly but I think next to him is Glen Payne. Behind them are Mary Tom and Rosa Nell Speer. I think I also saw Larry Gatling (in a white cardigan). Finally next to Mark Lowry I think that’s Buck Rambo.
@@rainerfrey I've never seen George Younce wearing glasses before, so I think that threw me, but yes that is him and that does indeed look like Glen Payne. I was familiar with Jim Hill's work, but he just looked "familiar" and I didn't know him by name. I didn't recognize Eva Mae Lefevre. Thank you for the input (and making me feel like a fool for not recognizing George and Glen, lol).God bless.
I would love to know what year that was actually recorded. That’s back way more than 8 years old. It was uploaded on RUclips 8 years ago but I would love to know the original date that was recorded if anyone has that accurate information without just guessing.
@@karenhess8201 Thank you so much for that information. I knew it had to be at least 30 years or so but didn’t know the year for sure. I knew there were more fans of this era out there that would know when it was recorded.

This group helped me find my way back to God with this song
My eyes are full of tears
But until then my heart will go on singing
Until then with joy I'll carry on
Until the day my eyes behold my Saviour
Until the day God calls me home
I always feel God's arms around me when I listen to this song. I am so blessed every time I hear the words to this song. Thank you, Bill Gaither!

I miss Vestal and Howard Goodman. This is my husband's favorite song.
This proves to me that Bill is a excellent pianist

Until Then
My heart can sing when I pause to remember
A heartache here is but a stepping stone
Along a trail that's winding always upward,
This troubled world is not my final home.
But until then my heart will go on singing,
Until then with joy I'll carry on,
Until the day my eyes behold the city,
Until the day God calls me home.
The things of earth will dim and lose their value
If we recall they're borrowed for awhile;
And things of earth that cause the heart to tremble,
Remembered there will only bring a smile.
But until then my heart will go on singing,
Until then with joy I'll carry on,
Until the day my eyes behold the city,
Until the day God calls me home.
This weary world with all its toil and struggle
May take its toll of misery and strife;
The soul of man is like a waiting falcon;
When it's released, it's destined for the skies.
But until then my heart will go on singing,
Until then with joy I'll carry on,
Until the day my eyes behold the city,
Until the day God calls me home.
This troubled world is not my final home :)
Until then

My favorite hymn 🙏.
This is the video that started it all and became Gaither and the Homecoming Friends.
I don't think so. This is the video shot when they found out JD Summer passed.

Jake has been my favorite singer since 1950. I miss him.
Joann Wood You win! 1950?? Good grief! Was that pre-wig / Nabisco on WSB, etc? That would have been 2 years after Hovie founded The Statesmen if memory serves.
Mine too, since the very first time I heard him in the early 60's.
My grandmother loved Jake Hess. I miss her so much.
ILovestorms Jake was the real deal. The time or two I had to chat with him (while he was "back with" the Statesmen) are among my peak lifetime moments.
Amen!
Wonderful job thank you jake
So wonderful to hear these songs from long ago..
Blessed my ❤️
Such a lovely song :o)
My favorite song ever
Nice
🥳HEAVENLY HOME, AMEN!!!!🥺

I wasnt aware of this but Jake passed away 8 days after Vestal did :(

1990
It was at Bill Gaithers personal studio in Indiana. Jake Hess was actually late to that because of singing earlier that day at a friend's funeral.
@@karenhess8201 Thank you so much for that information. I knew it had to be at least 30 years or so but didn’t know the year for sure. I knew there were more fans of this era out there that would know when it was recorded.
@AllforkJ ur welcome
☝☝☝🎼🎼🎼🎼 Amen!
Who is the young guy standing next to Mark Lowry in the gray turtleneck?
Michael English.
That’s Michael English way back in the mid 80’s when he sang with The Singing Americans.

I wonder what was wrong with Vestal at the beginning, she seemed upset about something.
MultiLittlebopeep she had been interceding for Dotti who was unwell. It was on another clip
Thank you.
MultiLittlebopeep
She just got through praying for her beloved and deerest friend Dottie Rambo and she was feeling the sweet Holy Ghost
Possible because her husband had already gone HOME.
Excuse me. That's not true. The camera just showed him sitting down next to her. Sorry!
