Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: The Morning Star #126 (1877) Refrain First Line: Nearer my home Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o’er and o’er;
I'm nearer home today, today,
Than I have been before.
Chorus:
Nearer my home,
Nearer my home,
Nearer my home today, today,
Than I have been before.
2 Nearer my Father’s house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne today,
Nearer the crystal sea. [Chorus]
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the cross today,
And nearer to the crown. [Chorus]
4 Be near me when my feet
Are slipping o'er the brink;
For I am nearer home today,
Perhaps, than now I think. [Chorus]
