"Nearer"

Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: Laudes Domini #541 (1890) First Line: One sweetly solemn thought Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er, Nearer my home, to-day, am I Than e'er I've been before. Nearer my Father's house, Where many mansions be; Nearer to-day the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. 2 Nearer the bound of life, Where burdens are laid down; Nearer to leave the heavy cross; Nearer to gain the crown. But, lying dark between, Winding down through the night, There rolls the deep and unknown stream That leads at last to light 3 Ev'n now, perchance, my feet Are slipping on the brink, And I, to-day, are nearer home, Nearer than now I think. Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my power of faith! Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death.
