1 Heav’n is coming nearer every day;
And the vision grander every day.
Oh, what blest disclosings,
In the Savior’s dealings,
Leading us to blessings every day.

2 Heav’n is coming nearer every day;
And the soul gets higher every day.
Trials make us stronger,
Battles turn us bolder,
Vict’ries make us surer every day.

3 Heav’n is coming nearer every day;
And our life grows purer every day.
Fellowships are dearer,
Services are freer,
All devotions sweeter, every day.

4 Heav’n is coming nearer every day;
It becomes much brighter every day.
There are beamings fuller,
Which appear much richer,
With diviner luster, every day.

5 Heav’n is coming nearer every day;
As our dear ones gather every day.
Loving bonds do sever,
Then rejoice forever,
Just beyond the river, in that day.
