Solemn Thought
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.Nearer my Father's house,Where many mansions be;Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns,Nearer the crystal sea.
Chorus.
My home, my homemy home, my home, Mybeautiful heavenly home,I am nearer my home to-day,Than ever I've been before.
2
Nearer my going home,Laying my burden down,Leaving my cross of heavy grief,Wearing my starry crown.Father, perfect my trust,Strengthen my feeble faith;Support me when at last I standUpon the shore of death.
