Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1406 (1886) First Line: One sweetly solemn thought Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I'm nearer to my parting hour
Than e'er I've been before.
Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns,
Nearer the crystal sea.
Chorus:
My home, my home
My beautiful heavenly home,
I am nearer my home today,
Than ever I've been before.
2 Near my going home,
Laying my burden down,
Leaving my cross of heavy grief,
Wearing my starry crown,
Father, perfect my trust,
Strengthen my feeble faith;
Support me when at last I stand
Upon the shore of death. [Chorus]
