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 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 heav`n
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
The 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
