Author: Phoebe Cary Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 715 hymnals Topics: Cross of the Christian; Crown Of The Christian 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)
