One Sweetly Solemn Thought

Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: Timeless Truths #573 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: John 14:2 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er; Near’r 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 dark between, Winding down through the night, Is the deep and unknown stream To be crossed ere we reach the light. 5 Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my pow’r of faith! Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death. 6 Be Thee near when my feet Are slipping o’er the brink; For it may be I’m nearer home, Nearer now than I think.
