"Now when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?" - Matt. 16:13.
One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er; I am nearer to my home to-day, Than I've been be-fore;
Nearer my Father's house, Where many mansions be; Nearer the throne where Jesus sits, Nearer the crys-tal sea.
2
Nearer my cross, where Jesus died, Nearer to Calvary's hill;
There Jesus bled and died for me, Still nearer to his will.
C
Chorus
Near-er my home, Near-er my home, Near-er my home am I,
Used by per-mission of Messrs. Firth & Pond for vocal purposes of worshipping.
