The Holy City - André Rieu 

When my mother dead on December 19, 2019, and this program of André Rieu was shown on Finnish television at Christmas 2019, this song opened up to me in a new way. Since then, I´ve seen the lyrics of the song like a movie. My mother was a christian, so I see her singing in a New Jerusalem. I noticed that my mother missed there. She wrote beautiful poems about Heaven and Jesus.This song has given me a lot of comfort.

When I die, those who love me should sing this beautiful hymn as I go to my maker

To any believer in Jesus Christ, we all look forward to that new Jerusalem according to this timeless and wonderful hymn.

I heard this hymn first as a 10-year-old child in Martinville, Arkansas at Bible School. I'm 73 years old now. Beautiful. Brings years to my eyes still.

How loud the shouts of Hosanna (Save us) must be tonight. Father, in Your mercy, hear our prayer.

Hello to everyone who is listening and can't wait for Jesus to come back soon.

Last night I lay asleeping There came a dream so fair I stood in old Jerusalem Beside the temple there I heard the children singing And ever as they sang Methought the voice of Angels From Heaven in answer rang "Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Lift up your gates and sing, Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna to your King!" And then methought my dream was chang'd The streets no longer rang Hushed were the glad Hosannas The little children sang The sun grew dark with mystery The morn was cold and chill As the shadow of a cross arose Upon a lonely hill "Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Hark! How the Angels sing, Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna to your King!" And once again the scene was changed New earth there seemed to be I saw the Holy City Beside the tideless sea The light of God was on its streets The gates were open wide And all who would might enter And no one was denied No need of moon or stars by night Or sun to shine by day It was the new Jerusalem That would not pass away "Jerusalem! Jerusalem Sing for the night is o'er Hosanna in the highest Hosanna for evermore!"

You don't have to be religious to recognise that this massively magnificent composition is simply one of the greatest in tune and words

Our uncle Hart sang this at "Radio City" New York. circa 1950-60. He sang it at our wedding, on May 22/65 all these years ago. The Holy City has been an anchor throughout all our married life.

Since at kindergarden already heard this hymn.. Now almost age 75 still heard this song. Thanks God

Whenever I want to ponder on my Christian life I listen to this song of Redemption Deliverance Healing Miracle and Salvation. Jerusalem

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you," Psalm 122.6

I was absolutely horrified to read that mr rieu has cancelled. His public schedule due to serious health issues May the holy angels surround him and heal him. Praise god for all the happiness he has given to us

First we will sing in the old ( present) Jerusalem for 1000 years then after in the New Jerusalem we will sing a new song for eternity. The gold city of beauty beyond compare where there is only righteousness. A place that is full of unspeakable joy and peace. A place where God finally gets the glory and praise due his name.

I dedicate this beautiful song in honor of my dads dear friend and our dear family friend who was memorialized today 3/12/2024 Mr. Leno Frank Burks Sr, a God Fearing Man and an Awesome Man, All Peace to You, Love Jenni J.🙏🙏❤

This hymn of the church is so glorious! Hosannah in the Highest indeed!

Song leading to the Secong Coming of The Holy KING of Kings.

Bravo . Let the light shine through in these dark time’s.

We had this hymn sang a cappella at my dad's funeral as it was one of his favorites. Very moving, gets me every time!

I hope I can see him one day 😔

These three tenors sound great but the taller one to the far left is my favorite as he sings this piece without presumption.

Living alone and watching and remembering my family and friends ❤️

No need of moon or stars by night or Sun to shine by day…😢

What a soaring, noble, majestic hymn, and the glorious final notes that only the most talented singers can climb

May I recommend googling Henry Burr / the holycity on Columbia record recorded 1900-'03. He sings it beautifully, was trained as a church singer but also became the prime interpreter of Irving Berlin songs in the 19s through the 1920s. Enjoy. Great feeling throughout. 🐸

Oldies singing along, younglings being held spell bound. Powerful rendition

There's only One Our Father... And he will lead us home...x♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

We will be singing that song during our rapture as we cone into that holy city in heaven!

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG NOW, BUT ALL GLORY IS THE CHRIST JESUS ALWAYS IS HIS NAME AND HIS NAME TO BE PRAISED, IF IM BURIED ON MY HEAD STONE WILL SAY JUST SAVE BY JESUS THE ONLY CHRIST AND SAVIOR

Amen. Amen. Hallelujah!

It is so heartwarming to see the audience joining in without constraint ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

This song reminds me my pilgrimage trip to Israel back in 2014.🇮🇱

Most glorious expression of the Christian faith

I love to see people mouthing the words

Shalom shalom to Israel Jerusalem, God choosen people. I miss Israel.

Magnificent! Absolutely!

Praise The LORD!

does it get any better the that thank god we have our music in there crazy times.

I got to sing it in Seagoville Texas with first Baptist Church choir when I was 24. I'm 72 now. Later in life when I visited Jerusalem the song came to life even more. I can only imagine what the new Jerusalem will be like!

This music is soooooooo anointed! God bless you Andre' and fellow musicians and singers, bravo, bravo in the name of our Lord, our redeemer, Jesus the Christ!

Heard this play on Radio here in South Africa , loved it from then 🥺♥️♥️♥️Hosana to your king

Very beautiful hymn, the music brings all my old memories to life.

Good song... Praise THE LORD JESUS CHRIST😇😍🥰

Truly one of our most inspiring hymns in english. I pray for the soul of for me the yet unnamed writer of this incredible praise to our triune god

My hearth is melting from Philippines May the Lord bless us all

Any time I hear this it just fills my heart ! Praise Jesus

This hymn is so beautiful, it fills me with humility and love. Thank you all and bless U all.

The Holy City is Heaven!

Making memories that will not be soon forgotten

I am76 after hearing Sissel sing My Tribute. I heard an angel singing and have been praising God since. Should be done building a micro radio station and do Gospel music. Great hearing the music in English and Spanish. I signed up for the RU-vid music membership and I am in hog heaven on the music I have access to.

There are literally tens of thousands of us that have been a part of that particular piece in a chorale somewhere. The people in the audience were almost all participating in this song. I would LOVE to see a microphone for every person singing in the audience to see just how dramatic a sound that this would truly make some day. I believe it would make your hair truly stand straight up it would be so amazing.

Well worth a standing ovation!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding

This is truly my favourite hymn of all time, fills my spirit, as I think of what Jesus did for us, I always get tears of emotion and love

So beautifully sung God bless you all 🙏

Mieluisinta musiikkia kuultavissa suomalaisena "ukkona," Andre Rieulta aikaansaamana esityksenä !!!

The Holy City is a religious Victorian ballad dating from 1892, with music by Michael Maybrick writing under the alias Stephen Adams ,and performed wonderfully by the j.s.o!

What a magnificent performance! Powerful and emotive in equal measure, a complete joy to listen to.

Thanks for making me cry at 7 in the morning, Christmas Eve, 2023😂😂😂. This was so beautiful. God is great!

Absolute stunning performance.

Music at its finest that speaks to the heart. A truly magnificent piece of music performed by singers and musicians who make it soar to the heavens.

Ascult foarte des aceasta interpretare! Este formidabila! Valorează cât o mie de rugăciuni! Andre Rieu trimite muzica direct în inimile oamenilor! Cred ca în urma ascultării acestei muzici mulți oameni l-au ales pe Dumnezeu în viețile lor! God bless all of you!

Tenors are great but Sopranos are beautiful. A woman's voice is beauty.

ONE ABSOLUTELY GREAT ORCHESTRA, THREE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC TENORS! This must be made by God!

Bless you ,God's wonderful choir. From Mamiki Ramafoko from South Africa 🇿🇦

Glory, Glory to Our Almighty God. 👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

This is more like Christmas I use to sing as a solo . That is lovely with the high notes at the end I know it’s very high my singing range was three an half octaves above middle C .thank you The Holy City:

My future eternal home! How beautifully done! COME LORD JESUS!!! 🌅

Thank you Andre Rieu and your Johann Strauss Orchestra for performing this "The Holy City" vid. It was so magnificent and divine. This hymn resonated with my heart and soul. Sincerely, Robert S.J. Hu December 21, 2018 .
