Nearer My God to Thee 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 drean1s I'd be 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 r,1e Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. Then with rriy 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.
