One sweetly solemn tho’t Comes to me o’er and o’er; One Sweetly Solemn Thought One sweetly solemn tho’t Comes to me o’er and o’er; I’m nearer home today, today, Than I’ve been before. Nearer my home, Nearer my home, Nearer my home today, today, Than I have been before. 1-3 Words by Phoebe Cary / Music by Philip Phillips
Nearer the bound of life, Where burdens are laid down; One Sweetly Solemn Thought Nearer the bound of life, Where burdens are laid down; Nearer to leave the cross today, And nearer to the crown. Nearer my home, Nearer my home, Nearer my home today, today, Than I have been before. 2-3
Are slipping o’er the brink; For I am nearer home today, One Sweetly Solemn Thought Be near me when my feet Are slipping o’er the brink; For I am nearer home today, Perhaps, than now I think. Nearer my home, Nearer my home, Nearer my home today, today, Than I have been before. 3-3
