One sweetly solemn thought
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #468 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I am nearer my home 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 the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down,
Nearer leaving the cross of grief,
Nearer gaining the crown.
4 But lying darkly between,
And winding down through the night,
Flows on the deep and unknown stream,
That leads me to the light.
5 Jesus, perfect my trust,
Strengthen my hand of my faith,
And be Thou near me when I stand
Upon the shore of death.

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #531 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er,--
Nearer my home, to-day, am I
Than e'er I've been before.
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer to-day the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer the bound of life
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the heavy cross;
Nearer to gain the crown.
4 But, lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
There rolls the silent, unknown stream
That leads at last to light.
E'en now, perchance, my feet
Are slipping over the brink,
For I, to-day, am nearer home,--
Nearer now than I think.
6 Father, perfect my trust;
Strengthen my spirit's faith;
Nor let me stand, at last alone
Upon the shore of death. Topics: Death and Burial Languages: English

Author: P. Cary Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #559 (1920) Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I am nearer my home today
Than I ever have been before;
2 Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea,
Nearer my Father's house,
Where the "many mansions" be;
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown;
4 But lying darkly between,
Winding down thro' the night,
Is the deep and unknown stream
To be crossed ere we reach the light.
5 Jesus, perfect my trust,
Strengthen the hand of my faith:
Let me feel Thee near when I stand
On the edge of the shore of death;
6 Feel Thee near when my feet
Are slipping over the brink;
For it may be I'm nearer home,
Nearer now than I think. Topics: General Home and Personal Use Languages: English Tune Title: AMBROSE

Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: The Hymnal #614 (1895) Lyrics:
1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I am nearer my home today
Than I ever have been before;
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea;
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown;
4 But the waves of that silent sea
Roll dark before my sight,
That brightly the other side
Break on a shore of light.
5 O, if my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink,
If it be I am nearer home
Even to-day than I think.
6 Father, perfect my trust;
Let my spirit feel in death
That her feet are firmly set
On the rock of a living faith.
Amen.

Author: Phebe Cary Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #877 (1873) Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er:
I'm nearer home to-day
Than I have been before.
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne;
Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the cross,
Nearer to gain the crown.
4 But lying dark between,
And winding through the night,
The deep and unknown stream!
Crossed ere we reach the light.
5 Jesus, confirm my trust;
Strengthen the hand of faith,
To feel thee when I stand
Upon the shore of death.
6 Be near me when my feet
Are slipping o'er the brink,
For I am nearer home,
Perhaps, than now I think. Topics: Life and Death; Nearing Home Scripture: Romans 13:11-12
