Comes to me o'er and o'er; Fa - ther's house, Where the many man-sions be; bound of life, Where we lay our bur - dens down; darkly be - tween, Winding down through the night, mor - tal feet Have almost gained the brink; perfect my trust, Let my spirit feel in death

I am nearer home to-day Than I ever have been be - fore.
Nearer the great white throne, Nearer the crys - tal sea;
Nearer leaving the cross,

Nearer gaining the crown.
Is the silent, unknown stream, That leads at last to the light.
If it be I am
near - er home

Even to-day than I think:
That her feet are firm-ly set On the rock of a living faith.
