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.
