Nearer Home

Author: Alice Cary Hymnal: Pilot Hymns #285 (1934) First Line: O'er the hill the sun is setting Refrain First Line: Nearer home, nearer home Lyrics: 1 O'er the hill the sun is setting, And the eve is drawing on, Slowly drops the gentle twilight, For another day is gone, Gone for aye, its race is over, Soon the dark’ning shades will come, Still 'tis sweet to know at evening, We are one day nearer home. Still 'tis sweet to know at evening, We are one day nearer home. Chorus: Nearer home, nearer home, Oh, ‘tis always sweet to know We are one day nearer home, Nearer home; nearer home, Oh, ‘tis always sweet to know at even, We are one day nearer home. 2 One day nearer, sings the sailor, As he glides the waters o'er, While the light is softly dying, On his distant native shore, Thus the Christian, on life's ocean, As his lightboat cuts the foam, In the evening cries with rapture, I am one day nearer home. In the evening cries with rapture, I am one day nearer home. [Chorus] 3 Nearer home, yes, one day nearer, To our home beyond the sky, To the green fields and the fountains, In our Father’s home on high, For the heav’ns are growing brighter, And the lamps hang in the dome, And our hearts are growing lighter, For we're one day nearer home. [Chorus] Coda: Father, be near when my feet Are slipping o’er the brink, For it may be I am nearer home, Nearer now than I think. Languages: English Tune Title: [O'er the hill the sun is setting]

Nearer home, nearer home

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1398 (1886) First Line: O'er the hill the sun is setting Lyrics: 1 O'er the hill the sun is setting, And the eve is drawing on; Slowly drops the gentle twilight, For another day is gone. Gone for aye, its race is over, Soon the darker shades will come; Still 'tis sweet to know at even, We are one day nearer home. Chorus: Nearer home, nearer home, Nearer to our home on high, To the green fields and the fountains Of the land beyond the sky. 2 One day nearer, sings the sailor, As he glides the waters o'er, While the light is softly dying, On his distant native shore. Thus the Christian on Life's ocean, As his light boat cuts the foam, In the evening cries with rapture, "I am one day nearer home!" [Chorus] 3 Worn and weary, oft the pilgrim Hails the setting of the sun; For the goal is one day nearer, And his journey nearer done. Thus we feel, when o'er Life's desert, Heart and sandals worn we roam; As the twilight gathers o'er us, We are one day nearer home. [Chorus] 4 Nearer home! yes, one day nearer To our Father's house on high, To the green fields and the fountains, Of the land beyond the sky; For the heavens grow brighter o'er us, And the lamps hang in the dome, And our tents are pitched still closer, For we're one day nearer home.
