One sweetly solemn thought

Author: Phoebe Cary Appears in 726 hymnals Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er; I'm nearer to my parting hour 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 my going home, Laying my burden down, Leaving my cross of heavy grief, Wearing my starry crown.

How peaceful is the grave!

Author: R. Blair Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How peaceful is the grave! Where, life's vain tumult past, Th' appointed house, by Heaven's decree, Receives us all at last. 2 There earthly troubles cease, There passions rage no more, And there the weary pilgrim rests From all the toils he bore. 3 There all, both small and great, Partake the same repose; And there in peace the ashes mix Of those who once were foes. 4 All, by the hand of death, Partake a common tomb; Yet saints shall not forever sleep Not theirs the sinner's doom. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: THOUGHT
