One Sweetly Solemn Thought

1. One sweetly solemn thought
   Comes to me o’er and o’er;
   Near’r to my home today am I
   Than e’er I’ve been before.
2. Nearer my Father’s house,
   Where many mansions be;
   Nearer today, the great white throne,
   Nearer the crystal sea.
3. Nearer the bound of life
   Where burdens are laid down;
   Nearer to leave the heavy cross,
   Nearer to gain the crown.
4. But lying dark between,
   Winding down through the night,
   Is the deep and unknown stream
   To be crossed ere we reach the light.
5. Father, perfect my trust!
   Strengthen my pow’r of faith!
   Nor let me stand, at last, alone
   Upon the shore of death.
6. Be Thee near when my feet
   Are slipping o’er the brink;
   For it may be I’m nearer home,
   Nearer now than I think.
