- 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, my God, to Thee,
- Nearer to Thee.
- Tho' like a wanderer,
- The sun gone down,
- Darkness be over me,
- My rest a stone,
- Yet in my dreams I'll be
- Nearer, my God, to Thee,
- Nearer, my God, to Thee,
- Nearer to Thee.
- There let the way appear,
- Steps unto heaven;
- All that Thou sendest me
- In mercy be given,
- Angels to beckon me
- 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 griefs
- 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
- Cleavihg 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.
