Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me;
Still all my song would be nearer, my God, to Thee
Chorus: 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
Chorus: Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Or if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upwards I fly
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee
Chorus: Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Amen!
