1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er—
I'm nearer home today
Than I've ever been before.
Nearer my Father's home,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne;
Near'r the crystal sea.
Refrain:
I am nearer home today,
I am nearer home today,
Nearer home, nearer home,
Nearer home today,
I'm one day nearer home today.
2 Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross;
Nearer leaving the crown.
Father, be near when my feet
Are slipping o'er the brink;
For I may be nearer home-
Nearer than I think!
