LyicsNearer, 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, Day-light all gone;
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.
