Author: | Phoebe Cary |
Tune: | [One sweetly solemn thought] |
Composer: | John M. Evans |
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.
Refrain:
I’m nearer my home, nearer my home,
Nearer my home today;
Yes, nearer my home in heav’n today,
Than ever I’ve been before.
2 Nearer my Father’s house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the jasper sea. [Refrain]
3 For ever now my feet
May stand upon its brink;
I may be nearer home,
Nearer than now I think. [Refrain]
