Nearer Home.


One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me DER and Ger;
I'm nearer my home to-day
Than | ever have been before;
Nearer my Fathers house,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea;
Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown
But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the silent, unknown stream,
That leads us at length to the light.
Closer and closer my steps
Come to the dread nhysm;
Closer Death to my lips
Presses the awful chrism.

Have almost gained the brink;

Father, perfect my trust,
Let my spirit feel in death
