Religious Music - Nearer My God to Thee lyrics

Nearer my God to Thee, Nearer to Thee!

E'en tho' 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.

Tho' like a 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.

Then let the way appear, steps up to 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.

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, upwards I fly,

Still all my song shall be,

Nearer my God, to Thee,

Nearer my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee...
