1. 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!
?
2. 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!
?
3. 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!
?
4. 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!
