Nearer, my God, to Thee

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 a wanderer

The sun gone down

Darkness comes 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 me see the sight

An open 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.
