Nearer My God to Thee

Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee

Even 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

There let the way appear, steps unto heav'

All that Thou sendest to me, in mercy give

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

Though like the wanderer the sun gone down

Darkness be over me, while my rest a stone

Nearer my God to Thee

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 grief, Bethel I'll raise

So by my woes to be nearer

My God, to thee

Nearer my God to Thee

Nearer to Thee

Nearer my God to Thee

Nearer to Thee
