352- One Sweetly Solemn Thought

MIDI	MP3	Partition

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,
There rolls the deep and unknown stream
That leads at last to light.

5
Father, perfect my trust;
Strengthen my power of faith!
Nor let me stand, at last, alone
Upon the shore of death.
