Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee
E’en though it be a cross
That raiseth me
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee
Though like the wanderer
The sun gone down
Darkness be over me
My rest, a stone
Yet in my dreams I’d be
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee
There let the way appear
Steps unto heav’n
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy giv’n
There let the way appear
Steps unto heav’n
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy giv’n
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee
Then, with my waking tho’ts
Bright with Thy praise
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I’ll raise
So, by my woes, to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee
Or, if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky
Sun, moon and stars forgot
Upward I fly
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee
