Nearer My God to Thee

Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee Even 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 There let the way appear, steps unto heav' All that Thou sendest to me, in mercy give Angels to beckon me, 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 Though like the wanderer the sun gone down Darkness be over me, while my rest a stone Nearer my God to Thee 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 grief, Bethel I'll raise So by my woes to be nearer My God, to thee Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee
