Nearer My God To Thee: Lyrics

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 went 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 giv’n;
Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

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!

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!
