Nearer home, nearer home

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1398 (1886) First Line: O'er the hill the sun is setting Lyrics: 1 O'er the hill the sun is setting, And the eve is drawing on; Slowly drops the gentle twilight, For another day is gone. Gone for aye, its race is over, Soon the darker shades will come; Still 'tis sweet to know at even, We are one day nearer home. Chorus: Nearer home, nearer home, Nearer to our home on high, To the green fields and the fountains Of the land beyond the sky. 2 One day nearer, sings the sailor, As he glides the waters o'er, While the light is softly dying, On his distant native shore. Thus the Christian on Life's ocean, As his light boat cuts the foam, In the evening cries with rapture, "I am one day nearer home!" [Chorus] 3 Worn and weary, oft the pilgrim Hails the setting of the sun; For the goal is one day nearer, And his journey nearer done. Thus we feel, when o'er Life's desert, Heart and sandals worn we roam; As the twilight gathers o'er us, We are one day nearer home. [Chorus] 4 Nearer home! yes, one day nearer To our Father's house on high, To the green fields and the fountains, Of the land beyond the sky; For the heavens grow brighter o'er us, And the lamps hang in the dome, And our tents are pitched still closer, For we're one day nearer home. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Special Selections Scripture: Romans 13:11 Tune Title: NEARER HOME
