Nearer my Father’s house, Where many mansions be; Nearer today, the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. Nearer the bound of life Where burdens are laid down; Nearer to leave the heavy cross, Nearer to gain the crown. But lying dark between, Winding down through the night, Is the deep and unknown stream To be crossed ere we reach the light. Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my pow’r of faith! Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death. 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.

One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o’er and o’er;
Nearer my home today am I
Than e’er I’ve been before.
Nearer my Father’s house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer today, the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.
Nearer the bound of life
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the heavy cross,
Nearer to gain the crown.
But lying dark between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the deep and unknown stream
To be crossed ere we reach the light.
Father, perfect my trust!
Strengthen my pow’r of faith!
Nor let me stand, at last, alone
Upon the shore of death.
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.
