N3ABER HONE.
.,Ia. ~ PnoEBE cARY.
One sweeily solemn thought
Comes 10 me o'er ans Ger:
L N nearer 10 my home to-day
III Than ever have been before
Nearer 10 my Fathers house,
where the many mansions be
Nearer the great white throne,
Near the crystal sea
Nearer tho bound Of life. ..
Where we lay our burdens down /;
Nenr,r leaving the cross, ...
Nearer gaining the crown.
But the waves Of that silent sea
Roll dark before my, sight,
That brightly the other side
Break on q shore Of light.
o, 10 my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink,
Ifit be I am nearer homo
Even to-day than think,
Father, perfect my trust,
Let my spirit fetl In death
That her feet are firmly set
On the Rock Of living faith,
