Nearer My Home
One sweetly solemn thought
1
One sweetly solemn thoughtComes to me o'er and o'er;I'm nearer home to-day, to-day,Than e'er I've been before.
Chorus.
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 throne where Jesus reigns,Nearer the crystal sea.
3
Nearer my going home,Laying my burdens down,Leaving my cross of heavy grief,Wearing my starry crown.
