Though like the wanderer, sun gone down, Darkness be over me Yet in my dreams I'm nearer now, Nearer the dawn to thee. There let appear steps unto heav'n Angels to beckon me Out of my stony griefs I'll be Nearer the dawn to thee. Nearer the dawn to thee, Nearer the dawn to thee, Still all my song shall be Nearer the dawn to thee. On joyful wing, cleaving the sky, Nearer the dawn to thee, Sun, moon, and stars forgot I fly, Nearer the dawn to thee.
