Nearer, my God

- 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 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 to Thee, nearer to Thee.
- There let the way appear,
- Steps up to heaven;
- All that Thou sendest me,
- In mercy given;
- Angels to beckon me
- Nearer, my God, to Thee,
- Nearer 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 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 to Thee, nearer to Thee.
