Nearer my God to thee,�Nearer to thee!�E’en though it be a cross�That raiseth me;

2 of 10

Still all my song shall be,�Nearer, my God, to thee,�Nearer, my God, to thee,�Nearer to thee!

3 of 10

Though like the wanderer,�The sun gone down,�Darkness be over me,�My rest a stone;

4 of 10

Yet in my dreams I’d be�Nearer, my God, to thee,�Nearer, my God, to thee,�Nearer to thee.

5 of 10

There let the way appear�Steps unto heaven;�All that thou sendest me�In mercy given;

6 of 10

Angels to beckon me�Nearer, my God, to thee,�Nearer, my God, to thee,�Nearer to thee.

7 of 10

Then, with my waking thoughts

Bright with thy praise,

Out of my stony griefs

Bethel I’ll raise;

8 of 10

So by my woes to be

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee.

9 of 10

Or if on joyful wing

Cleaving the sky,

Sun, moon, and stars forgot,

Upwards I fly,

10 of 10

Still all my song shall be,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!
