One Sweetly Solemn Thought
Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #283 (1934) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
Nearer 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 E'en now, perchance, my feet
Are slipping on the brink,
And I, today, am nearer home,
Nearer than now I think.
5 Father, perfect my trust!
Strengthen my pow'r of faith!
Nor let me stand, at last, alone
Upon the shore of death.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: DOLCE DOMUM

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.

Strengthen my hand of faith,
And be Thou near me when I stand

Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: Gloria Deo #481 (1901) Refrain First Line: Nearer my home today Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o’er and o’er,
I’m nearer home today, today,
Than I have been before.
Nearer my Father’s home,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne today,
Nearer the crystal sea.
Refrain:
Nearer my home today, today,
Than I have been before.
2 Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down,
Where we shall lay aside the cross,
And win and wear the crown.
Nearer death’s silent stream,
That winds ‘mid shades unknown,
Nearer the radiant shores that gleam
With glory from the throne. [Refrain]
3 Perhaps my weary feet
Have almost gain’d the brink,
I may be nearer home today,
Far nearer than I think,
Father, perfect my trust,
To feel in life or death,
My weary feet securely rest
On Christ, my Rock, my Faith. [Refrain] Topics: Death Languages: English Tune Title: CARY

Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5235 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 darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the deep and unknown stream
To be crossed ere we reach the light.
5. Closer and closer my steps
Come to the dread abysm,
Closer death to my lips
Presses the awful chrism.
6. Feel as I would my feet,
Are slipping over the brink;
For it may be, I’m nearer home—
Nearer now than I think.
7. Father, perfect my trust!
Strengthen my power of faith!
Nor let me stand, at last, alone
Upon the shore of death.

Are slipping over the brink;
For it may be I’m nearer home,
Nearer now than I think. Languages: English Tune Title: DULCE DOMUM
