Author: Miss Phoebe Carey Hymnal: Calvary Songs #135 (1875) Refrain First Line: Nearer my Father's house Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er—
Nearer my parting hour am I,
Nearer than ever before.
Refrain:
Nearer my Father's houses,
Where many mansions be—
Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns—
Nearer the crystal sea.
2 Nearer my going home—
Laying my burden down—
Leaving my cross of heavy grief—
Wearing my starry crown. [Refrain]
3 Nearer the hidden stream,
Winding through shades of night,
Rolling its cold, dark waves between
Me and the world of light. [Refrain]
4 Jesus! to thee I cling;
Strengthen my arm of faith;
Stay near me while my way-worn feet
Press through the stream of death. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [One sweetly solemn thought] (Converse)
