One Sweetly Solemn Thought

Author: Phoebe Cary, 1824-1871 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #321 (1901) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er; I'm nearer to my home today Than e’er I’ve been before. 2 Nearer my Father’s house, Where many mansions be, Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns, Nearer the crystal sea. 3 Nearer the bound of life Where burdens are laid down, Nearer leaving the cross of grief, Nearer gaining the crown. 4 But lying dark between, And winding through the night, Flows on the deep and unknown stream That leads me to the light. 5 Jesus, perfect my trust, Strengthen my hand of faith, And be Thou near me when I stand Upon the shore of death. Amen. Topics: Death and Resurrection Languages: English Tune Title: GORTON

Refrain: Nearer my home today, today, Than I have been before. 2 Nearer the bound of life, Where burdens are laid down, Where we shall lay aside the cross, And win and wear the crown. Nearer death’s silent stream, That winds ‘mid shades unknown, Nearer the radiant shores that gleam With glory from the throne. [Refrain] 3 Perhaps my weary feet Have almost gain’d the brink, I may be nearer home today, Far nearer than I think, Father, perfect my trust, To feel in life or death, My weary feet securely rest On Christ, my Rock, my Faith.

One Sweetly Solemn Thought

Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5235 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er; Nearer to my home today am I Than e’er I’ve been before. 2. Nearer my Father’s house, Where many mansions be; Nearer today, the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. 3. Nearer the bound of life Where burdens are laid down; Nearer to leave the heavy cross, Nearer to gain the crown. 4. But lying darkly between, Winding down through the night, Is the deep and unknown stream To be crossed ere we reach the light. 5. Closer and closer my steps Come to the dread abysm, Closer death to my lips Presses the awful chrism. 6. Feel as I would my feet, Are slipping over the brink; For it may be, I’m nearer home— Nearer now than I think. 7. Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my power of faith! Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death. 8. Be Thee near when my feet Are slipping over the brink; For it may be I’m nearer home, Nearer now than I think.
