NEARER MY HOME

NEARER MY HOME

One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o’er and o’er;
I am nearer to my home today , today
Than e’er I’ve been before.

Refrain

Nearer my home,
Nearer my home,
Nearer my home today, today,
Than e'er I've been before.

Nearer my Father’s house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer the throne of grace today,
Nearer the crystal sea.

Refrain

Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer leaving the cross today,
Nearer gaining the crown.

Refrain

Be nearer when my feet
Are slipping o'er the brink;
For it am nearer home today,
Nearer now than I think.
