One Sweetly Solemn Though

One Sweetly Solemn Though
One sweetly solemn thought
Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #289 (1913) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o’er and o’er;
Nearer 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,
There rolls the silent, unknown stream
That leads at last to light.
5 Ev'n now, perchance, my feet,
Are slipping over the brink,
For I, to-day, am nearer home,--
Nearer now than I think.
6 Jesus, perfect my trust;
Strengthen my spirit's faith;
Nor let me stand, at last, alone
Upon the shore of death.

Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I am nearer my home today
Than e'er I've been before;
2 Nearer the Father's house,
Where many mansions be,
Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns,
Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer the bound of life
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer leaving the cross of grief,
Nearer gaining the crown.
4 But lying darkly between,
And winding through the night,
Flows on the deep and unknown stream,
That leads me to the light.
5 Jesus, perfect my trust,
Strengthen the hand of my faith,
And be Thou near me when I stand
Upon the shore of death.
