Author: Miss Phoebe Carey Hymnal: International Song Service #128 (1895) First Line: One sweetly solemn thought Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I'm nearer home today, today,
Than I have been before.
Chorus:
Nearer my home,
Nearer my home,
Nearer my home to-day, today,
Than I have been before.
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne today,
Nearer the crystal sea. [Chorus]
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the cross to-day,
And nearer to the crown. [Chorus]
4 Be near me when my feet
Are slipping o'er the brink;
For I am nearer home to-day,
Perhaps, than now I think. [Chorus] Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Languages: English Tune Title: ONE SWEETLY SOLEMN THOUGHT
Nearer my home
