EN 4369 One Sweetly Solemn Thought

John.14.2

Versi Version 1

1

One sweetly solemn thought

Comes to me o’er and o’er;

Nearer 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 darkly between,

Winding down through the night,

Is the deep and unknown stream

To be crossed ere we reach the light.

5

Closer and closer my steps

Come to the dread abysm,

Closer death to my lips

Presses the awful chrism.

6

Feel as I would my feet,

Are slipping over the brink;

For it may be, I'm nearer home—

Nearer now than I think.

7

Father, perfect my trust!

Strengthen my power of faith!

Nor let me stand, at last, alone

Upon the shore of death.

8

Be Thee near when my feet

Are slipping over the brink;

For it may be I’m nearer home,

Nearer now than I think.
