Triumphant Songs No.1 ‎#26

26. I'm Nearer My Home

1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o’er and o’er;
I’m nearer to my home today
Than ever I’ve been before.

Refrain:
I’m nearer my home,
I’m nearer my home,
I’m nearer my home today,
Than ever I’ve been before.

2 I’m nearer my Father’s house,
Where heav’nly mansions be;
I’m nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the Jasper sea. [Refrain]

3 I’m nearer the bound of life
Where we lay our burdens down;
I’m nearer the time to leave,
The cross and wear the crown. [Refrain]
