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 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 To Thee!

There Let The Way Appear
Steps Unto Heaven;
All That Thou Send’st To Me
In Mercy Given;
Angels To Beckon Me
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 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 To Thee!
