One sweetly solemn thought
1
One sweetly solemn thoughtComes to me o'er and o'er;I 'm nearer to my parting hourThan e'er I 've been before.
2
Nearer my Father's house,Where many mansions be;Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns,Nearer the crystal sea.
3
Nearer my going home,Laying my burden down,Leaving my cross of heavy grief,Wearing my starry crown.
