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 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'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, upward I fly Still all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to Thee Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee
