Nearer, My God To Thee
Verse 1
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 to Thee!
Verse 2
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 to Thee!
Verse 3
There let the way appear, steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me, in mercy giv'n: Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Verse 4
Then with my waking thoughts, 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 to Thee!
Verse 5
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 to Thee!
