One Sweetly Solemn Thought by Phoebe Cary (1852-1871)
One sweetly solemn thought
Nearer my Father’s house,
Nearer the bound of life
But lying darkly between,
Father, perfect my trust!
Be Thee near when my feet
Comes to me o’er and o’er;
Nearer to my home today am IThan 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 darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the deep and unknown streamTo be crossed ere we reach the light.
Father, perfect my trust!
Strengthen my power of faith!
Nor let me stand, at last, aloneUpon the shore of death.
Be Thee near when my feet
Are slipping over the brink;
For it may be I’m nearer home,Nearer now than I think.
