Tune:[O the yesterday's moments for pleasure or woe]
Composer:Fred A. Fillmore

28. Am I Nearer to Heaven Today?

1 O the yesterday's moments for pleasure or woe,
Have been stealthily carried away;
I am nearer the valley of shadows, I know-
Am I nearer to heaven today?

Refrain:
Am I nearer
Am I nearer
Am I nearer to heaven today?
Am I nearer the gate where the blessed ones wait?
Am I nearer to heaven today?

2 I am nearer the time for the breaking of ties,
That are holding my loved ones to me;
I am nearer the time for my latest good byes-
Am I nearer, O Father to Thee? [Refrain]

3 I am nearer the close of my labor below,
I am nearer the end of my way;
I am nearer the edge of the valley, I know-
Am I nearer to heaven today? [Refrain]
