Nearer, My God, to Thee lyrics

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! Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down Darkness be over me, my rest a stone Yet in my dreams I’d be nearer, my God, to Thee Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer 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 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 cleaving the sky Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I’ll fly Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! There in my Father’s home, safe and at rest There in my Savior’s love, perfectly blest Age after age to be nearer, my God, to Thee Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
