Lyrics

1. Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! Even though it be a cross that raises me, Still all my song shall be:
2. Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down, Darkness be over me, my rest a stone. Yet in my dreams I’d be
3. There let the way appear, steps unto Heaven; All that Thou sends me, in mercy given; Angels to beckon me
4. Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony grieves Bethel I’ll raise; So by my woes to be
5. Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I’ll fly, Still all my song shall be:
Refrain: Nearer, my God, to Thee; Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!
