Perto do Lar

The sun sets behind the mountains
And the afternoon has arrived
Calm and quiet comes the night
Another day has ended
It has gone with its struggle
Soon the dark night comes
But the memory is sweet
Near is the home beyond

Near home, near home
Near, yes, the home of Heaven!
From this beautiful home
With crystal fountains
From the land of the eternal God

So tired is the pilgrim
Wants to reach the end of the day
From the toilsome work
Will rest again
Thus our life goes on
In this long journey
But the shadows remind us
The eternal home is near

Near home, near home
Near, yes, the home of Heaven!
From this beautiful home
With crystal fountains
From the land of the eternal God

Another day on the journey
Towards the paternal house
The river is closer now
To the celestial land
The city already shines
We glimpse its radiance
Closer and closer we are
To the glorious home of love

Near home, near home
Near, yes, the home of Heaven!
From this beautiful home
With crystal fountains
From the land of the eternal God
