Nearer Home
Author: Unknown Appears in 90 hymnals First Line: O'er the hills the sun is setting Refrain First Line: Nearer home, beautiful home Lyrics: 1 O'er the hill the sun is setting,
And the eve is drawing on;
Slowly droops 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.
Refrain:
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." [Refrain]
3 Worn and weary, oft the pilgrim
Hails the setting of the sun;
For the goal is one day nearer,
And his journey nearly done.
Thus we feel, when o'er life's desert,
Heart and sandal worn, we roam;
As the twilight gathers o'er us,
We are one day nearer home. [Refrain]
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've one day nearer home. [Refrain] Scripture: Romans 13:11 Used With Tune: NEARER HOME
Nearer Home

Baja el sol
Desce o Sol Atrás dos Montes
Author: J. Mcgranahan (1840-1907) Appears in 1 hymnal Refrain First Line: Perto do lar, perto do lar Lyrics: 1. Desce o Sol atrás dos montes,
Eis, a tarde já chegou.
Calma e quieta, vem a noite:
Mais um dia se findou,
Já se foi com sua luta,
Logo a escura noite vem,
Mas é doce a lembrança
Que mais perto é o lar de além.
Estribilho:
Perto do lar, perto do lar,
Perto, sim, do lar dos Céus;
Daquele lindo lar com fontes de cristal,
Do país do eterno Deus.
2. Mui cansado o peregrino
Vê do dia o fim chegar.
Do trabalho mui penoso
Outra vez vai descansar.
Tal a vida neste mundo,
Que havemos de passar;
Eis, as sombras da tardinha,
Bem podemos, nós, provar. [Estribilho]
3. Mais um dia na viagem
Para o lar celestial;
Já mais perto está o rio,
Claro como um cristal;
Já o céu se esclarece,
E nós vemos sua luz;
Cada vez mais perto estamos
Das moradas de Jesus. [Estribilho] Used With Tune: [Desce o Sol atrás dos montes]
Desce o Sol Atrás dos Montes
