49 One sweet-solemn thought
[V1]
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.
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.

Than e’er been before
Nearer my home, Nearer my home,
Nearer my home today, today,
Than e’er been before
[V2]
Nearer my Father’s home, Where many mansions be!
Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns,
Nearer the crystal sea

Nearer my going home, Laying my burdens down,
Leaving my cross of heavy grief,
Wearing my starry crown.
