Nearer, My God, to Thee

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Nearer to Thee

E'en though it be a cross

That raiseth me

There let the way appear

Steps unto heav'n

All that Thou sendest me

In mercy giv'n

Still all my song shall be

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Nearer to Thee

Though like the wanderer

The sun gone down

Darkness be over me

My rest a stone

Angels to beckon me

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Nearer to Thee

Or if on joyful wing

Cleaving the sky

Sun, moon, and stars forgot

Upward I fly
