Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: Alexander's New Revival Hymns #94 (1922) Refrain First Line: I’m nearer home today Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er, I’m nearer home today, Than e’er I’ve been before. Nearer my Father’s house, Where many mansions be; Nearer the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. Refrain: I’m nearer home today, I’m nearer home today, Than e’er I’ve been before.. 2 Nearer the bound of life, Where burdens are laid down, Nearer to leave the cross, Nearer to gain the crown. But, lying dark between, Winding down thro’ the night, There rolls the unknown stream That leads at last to light. [Refrain] 3 E’en now, perchance my feet Are slipping on the brink, And I am nearer home, Nearer than now I think. Father, perfect my trust, Strengthen my power of faith! Nor let me stand alone Upon the shore of death. [Refrain] Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Languages: English Tune Title: [One sweetly solemn thought]

Ludwig van Beethoven

1770 - 1827 Person Name: Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827 Composer of "GORTON" in Hymnal and Order of Service A giant in the history of music, Ludwig van Beethoven (b. Bonn, Germany, 1770; d. Vienna, Austria, 1827) progressed from early musical promise to worldwide, lasting fame. By the age of fourteen he was an accomplished viola and organ player, but he became famous primarily because of his compositions, including nine symphonies, eleven overtures, thirty piano sonatas, sixteen string quartets, the Mass in C, and the Missa Solemnis. He wrote no music for congregational use, but various arrangers adapted some of his musical themes as hymn tunes; the most famous of these is ODE TO JOY from the Ninth Symphony. Although it would appear that the great calamity of Beethoven's life was his loss of hearing, which turned to total deafness during the last decade of his life, he composed his greatest works during this period.

Philip Phillips

1834 - 1895 Composer of "[One sweetly solemn thought]" in The Morning Star Phillips, Philip, commonly known as the "Singing Pilgrim," was born in Chautauqua County, N. York, Aug. 13, 1834. Although engaged in farming for a time, from an early age he devoted himself to music, and ultimately devoted himself to the work of a "Singing Evangelist," in which capacity he has visited most English-speaking countries. His popular hymnals are: (1) Early Blossoms, 1860; (2) Musical Leaves, 1862; and (3) The Singing Pilgrim, 1866. In these works he published one or two hymns, including "I have heard of a Saviour's love" (The love of Christ), as in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, 1878. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
