One Sweetly Solemn Thought
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]

Nearer the crystal sea. [Chorus]

Where burdens are laid down;

And nearer to the crown. [Chorus]

Are slipping o'er the brink;
For I am nearer home today,
Perhaps, than now I think. [Chorus]

One Sweetly Solemn Thought
Author: Miss Phoebe Carey Hymnal: Calvary Songs #135 (1875) Refrain First Line: Nearer my Father's house Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er—
Nearer my parting hour am I,
Nearer than ever before.
Refrain:
Nearer my Father's houses,
Where many mansions be—
Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns—
Nearer the crystal sea.
2 Nearer my going home—
Laying my burden down—
Leaving my cross of heavy grief—
Wearing my starry crown. [Refrain]
3 Nearer the hidden stream,
Winding through shades of night,
Rolling its cold, dark waves between
Me and the world of light. [Refrain]
4 Jesus! to thee I cling;
Strengthen my arm of faith;
Stay near me while my way-worn feet
Press through the stream of death. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [One sweetly solemn thought] (Converse)

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.

Charles Price Jones
1865 - 1949 Person Name: Charles P. Jones Author (vs. 4-5) of "One Sweetly Solemn Thought" in His Fullness Songs Charles Price Jones born December 9, 1865, near Rome, Georgia. He grew up in Kingston, Georgia, and attended the Baptist church. He was converted in 1884 while living in Cat Island, Arkansas. In 1885 he was called to the ministry and began preaching. In 1888 he attended Arkansas Baptist College and taught school in Grant County, Arkansas. He preached and pastored several Baptist churches. After asking God for a deeper experience of grace and fasting and praying for three days, Jones experienced a closeness with God, and in 1895, along with other Baptist holiness adherents, who taught that a second work of grace can cleanse the Christian of original sin. They started a holiness movement in the Baptist church, and he began teaching holiness in his congregation, Mount Helm Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi. He faced much opposition from some members of his congregation and other Baptist churches. Eventually the church voted to remove "Baptist" and change it to "Church of Christ." For several years, Jones led a non-denominational holiness movement. In 1899 he began to write songs for his church. Most of his hymns were inspired by a scripture passage. The congregation built the Christ Temple campus which included a 1000 seat sanctuary, a printing press, a school building, and a girl's dormitory. In 1917, Jones organized Christ Temple Church in Los Angeles and moved the printing press there. He died January 19, 1949 in Los Angeles
