Heaven Is Coming Nearer

Heav’n is com­ing near­er ev­ery day;

And the vi­sion grand­er ev­ery day.

Oh

what blest dis­clos­ings

In the Sav­ior’s deal­ings

Leading us to bless­ings ev­ery day.

Heav’n is com­ing near­er ev­ery day;

And the soul gets high­er ev­ery day.

Trials make us strong­er

Battles turn us bold­er

Vict’ries make us sur­er ev­ery day.

Heav’n is com­ing near­er ev­ery day;

And our life grows pur­er ev­ery day.

Fellowships are dear­er

Services are freer

All de­vo­tions swee­ter

eve­ry day.

Heav’n is com­ing near­er ev­ery day;

It be­comes much bright­er ev­ery day.

There are beam­ings full­er

Which ap­pear much rich­er

With di­vin­er lus­ter

ev­ery day.

Heav’n is com­ing near­er ev­ery day;

As our dear ones ga­ther ev­ery day.

Loving bonds do sev­er

Then re­joice for­ev­er

Just be­yond the riv­er

in that day.
