Author: Phoebe Cary; Charles P. Jones Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #491 (1977) First Line: One sweetly solemn tho't Refrain First Line: Nearer my home Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn tho't
Comes to me o'er and o'er,
I'm nearer home today
Than I have been before.
Refrain:
Nearer my home, (Beautiful home,)
Nearer my home, (Heavenly home,)
Soon will my work be done,
Then I shall rest at home.
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea. [Refrain]
3 For even now my feet
May stand upon its brink;
I may be nearer home,
Nearer than now I think. [Refrain]
4 O let me ready be
Whene'er the call shall come
To bid the world farewell
And gladly leave for home. [Refrain]
5 My heart is over there,
I often long for rest,
And there to join my voice
With all the pure and blest. [Refrain] Topics: Male Quartet Languages: English Tune Title: [One sweetly solemn tho't]
