Sweeter Than All Songs ‎#17

17. One Day Nearer

1 Let us work with a will for Jesus while we may;
He is calling for reapers - let us, then, obey!
Precious moments are passing; let us watch and pray -
Ev'ry day brings us nearer to our home.

Chorus:
Ev'ry day brings us nearer home,
Ev'ry day brings us nearer home,
Ev'ry dy brings us nearer home,
Ev'ry day brings us nearer home.

2 There's a cross to be borne, if we the crown would wear,
There is joy with the angels that we each may share;
Let us rise, then, to duty and for Him prepare -
Ev'ry day brings us nearer to our home. [Chorus]

3 Shall we go empty handed from the harvest here -
With but leaves for the Master, when He shall appear?
Then awake and arouse ye, for the night is near -
Ev'ry day brings us nearer to our home. [Chorus]
