I
OR'RE THE HILL THE SUN HAS SET,
ANOTHER DAY AND WE'RE NOT HOME YET.
WE ARE ONE DAY NEARER HOME.
THEN OLD TWILIGHT FADES AWAY.
SOON THE FALL OF THE DARKENING SHAKES.
WE ARE ONE DAY NEARER HOME.
CHORUS
WE ARE ONE DAY NEARER HOME
CARES OF LIFE WILL SOON BE GONE
I CAN SEE OUR FATHER'S THRONE
WE ARE ONE DAY NEARER HOME.
II
IN THE DISTANCE I CAN SEE
THE LIGHTS OF HOME FOR YOU AND ME
WE ARE ONE DAY NEARER HOME
COME TO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW
SOON I'M GONNA LAY THESE BURDENS DOWN
WE ARE ONE DAY NEARER HOME.
