Hymnal: JW1878 #213 (1879) First Line: Nearer, my God, to thee Lyrics: 1 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, my God, to thee.
2 Though like a wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness comes over me,
My rest a stone,
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, etc.
3 Or if on joyful wing,
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and star forgot,
Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, etc. Languages: English
Nearer to Thee
