Text: | I'm Nearer My Home |
Tune: | [One sweetly, solemn thought ] |
Composer: | H. A. Lewis |
1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o’er and o’er;
I’m nearer to my home today
Than ever I’ve been before.
Refrain:
I’m nearer my home,
I’m nearer my home,
I’m nearer my home today,
Than ever I’ve been before.
2 I’m nearer my Father’s house,
Where heav’nly mansions be;
I’m nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the Jasper sea. [Refrain]
3 I’m nearer the bound of life
Where we lay our burdens down;
I’m nearer the time to leave,
The cross and wear the crown. [Refrain]
