A sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o�er and o�er,
To-day I�m nearer to my home
Than e�er I�ve been before.
Nearer my Father�s house,
Where many mansions be,
And nearer to the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.
Nearer the bound of life,
Where falls my burden down;
Nearer to where I leave my cross,
And where I gain my crown.
Saviour, confirm my trust,
Complete my faith in thee;
And let me feel as if I stood
Close on eternity;
Feel as if now my feet
Were slipping o�er the brink;
For I may now be nearer home,
Much nearer than I think.
