One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er â I'm nearer home to-day, to-day, Than e'er I've been before.
Nearer my home, nearer my home, Nearer my home to-day, to-day, Than e'er I've been before.
2. Nearer my Father's house, Where many mansions be ; Nearer the great white throne to-day. Nearer the crystal sea.
3. Nearer the bound of life, Where burdens are laid down ; Nearer leaving the cross to-day, Nearer gaining the crown.
4. Be near me when rny feet Are slipping o'er the brink ; For I am nearer home to-day, Nearer now than I think.
