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 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
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, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee
