Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee!
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me
Still all my song would 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
Angels to beckon me
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
Upwards I fly
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee
