158 NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE. Sarah Flower Adams.

mp 1. Near - er, my God, to Thee, Near - er to Thee:

2. Tho' like a wan - der - er. Day - light all gone,

3. There let the way ap - pear Steps up to heav'n;

4. Then, with my wak - ing tho'ts Bright with Thy praise,

E'en though it be cross That rais - eth me;

Dark - ness be o - ver me. My rest a stone;

All that Thou send - est me. In mer - cy giv'n;

Out of my ston - y griefs, Beth el I'll raise; ff

Still all my song shall be, Near - er, my God, to Thee,

Yet in my dreams I'd be Near - er, my God, to Thee,

An - gels to beck - on me Near - er, my God, to Thee,

So by my woes to be Near - er, my God, to Thee,

pp Near - er, my God, to Thee, Near - er to Thee,
