Nearer My God to Thee

Nearer my God to thee Nearer to thee Even thought 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 Step unto heaven All that thou sendest me In mercy given Angles to beckon me Nearer my God to thee Nearer my God to thee Nearer to thee Then with my walking thoughts Bright with thy praise Out of the stony greifs 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
