Nearer My God to Thee
Nearer my God to thee, nearer my God to thee,
Even tho 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!
Tho like the wanderer, the sun go 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 heaven
All that Thou sendest me,in mercy given
Angels to beckon me
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer to thee!
Out of my stony griefs, Bethel I raise
So be my woes to be
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer to thee!
Or if on joyful wing, clearing 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!
