Nearer, My God, To Thee

Lyrics

Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer to Thee;
E’en tho’ it be a cross
That raiseth me!
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer my, God, to Thee!

Tho’ like a wanderer,
Daylight all gone,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I’d be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee.

There let the way appear,
Steps unto heav’n,
All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy giv’n;
Angels to beckon me,
Nearer, my God, to Thee.

Or if on joyful wing,
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon and stars forgot,
Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
