Hymn 49
One sweet-solemn thought
Verse 1
One sweetly solemn tho’t, Comes to me o’er and o’er!
I’m nearer to my home today, Than e’er I’ve been before.
I’m nearer to my home today, Than e’er I’ve been before.
Chorus
Nearer my home, Nearer my home,
Nearer my home today, today,
Than e’er been before
Nearer my home today, today,
Than e’er been before
Verse 2
Nearer my Father’s home, Where many mansions be!
Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns,
Nearer the crystal sea
Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns,
Nearer the crystal sea
Chorus
Nearer my home, Nearer my home,
Nearer my home today, today,
Than e’er been before
Nearer my home today, today,
Than e’er been before
Verse 3
Nearer my going home, Laying my burdens down,
Leaving my cross of heavy grief,
Wearing my starry crown.
Leaving my cross of heavy grief,
Wearing my starry crown.
Chorus
Nearer my home, Nearer my home,
Nearer my home today, today,
Than e’er been before
Nearer my home today, today,
Than e’er been before
