One Sweetly Solemn Thought

Author: Phoebe Cary Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 714 hymnals Topics: Cross of the Christian; Crown Of The Christian; Death; Deliverance from Death; Funerals; Meditation; Pilgrimage; Trust Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er: Nearer my home am I today Than e’er I’ve been before. 2 Nearer my Father’s house, Where many mansions be; Nearer my Savior's glorious 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 dark between, Winding down through the night, There rolls the deep and unknown stream Beyond which shines the light. 5 Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my power of faith! And let me lean on Christ alone Upon the shore of death. Used With Tune: AMBROSE (DULCE DOMUM)

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,325 hymnals Topics: Pilgrimage, Christian Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be: Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, and hoped, and known; Yet how rich is my condition, God and heav'n are still my own! 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Savior too; Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like man, untrue; And, while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate and friends may shun me; Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 4 Hasten on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heav'n's eternal day's before me, God's own hand shall guide me there. Soon shall close my earthly mission, Swift shall pass my pilgrim days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen. Scripture: Mark 8:34 Used With Tune: ELLESDIE
