Nearer, My God to Thee,
|
Nearer to Thee,
|
Even 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 . . .
|
|
Though like the 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 given!
|
|
Angels to beckon me,
|
Nearer, My God to Thee,
|
Nearer, My God to Thee,
|
Nearer to Thee . . .
|
