I Can Almost Hear the Trumpets

Can anyone give me the lyrics for this song? We use to sing it at Church of God. It's from a hymn book called Songs We Love To Sing. I would love to get a copy of this hymnal, but I can't find it anywhere.

Are you still wanting the lyrics to this song? I'm from the Church of God also and was thinking about this song today. I can get you the lyrics and perhaps a song book if you are still interested. I do know the Inspirations sang it and you can find it on YouTube.

Thank you "Guest Nov 28, 2023" for offering "Guest Mar 19, 2014" perhaps a song book.
Thank you for directing us to The Inspirations' rendition of I CAN ALMOST HEAR TRUMPETS on YouTube

and here are the lyrics:

There’s a song in my heart now
for I’m looking for Jesus
I’ve been reading His promise
that He would return
He’s preparing a mansion
in the city called heaven
and I’m ready to move in
to make it my home

O how it thrills my soul
to know I'm going
what a happy day
With all the saints of God
I’ll soon be singing as we sail away

I can almost hear trumpets
see the dead in Christ rising
and I’m ready to join them
O wonderful day

Now I’m reading His warning
just to watch and be ready
For I know that He quickly
as a thief will come
When the trumpet has sounded
and the graves are all open
I shall join with the saved ones
to sing a new song

O how it thrills my soul
to know I'm going
what a happy day
With all the saints of God
I’ll soon be singing as we sail away

I can almost hear trumpets
see the dead in Christ rising
and I’m ready to join them
O wonderful day
