NEARER HOME.


One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me DER and Ger
I'm nearer my home today
Than | ever have been before.
Nearer my Fathers home.
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne;
Nearer the crystal sea.
Nearer the bound Of life,
Where we lay or 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 at last to the light.
Closer and closer my steps
Come to the dreaded abysm;
Closer death to my lips
Presses the awful chrism.
Oh, If my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink;
If it be am nearer home
Even today than ! think.
Father. perfect my trust:
Let my spirit feel in death
That her feet are firmly set
On the rock of living faith
