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 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 to thee !

��There let the way appear Steps unto heaven ;

All that thou send'st to mc, In mercy given ;

Angels to beckon me

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 to thee !
