Nearer My God to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, Near to Thee!
Even through it be a cross theat riases 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 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, stars forgot, Upward I fly
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to Thee
