Hymnal: Kind Words #66 (1871) Lyrics: 1 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 to Thee, Nearer to Thee.
2 Tho' like the wanderer, day-light all gone,
Darkness comes over me, my rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be,
Nearer, my God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee, Nearer to Thee.
3 There let the way appear steps up to heaven;
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy giv'n;
Angels to beckon me,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee, Nearer to Thee.
4 Or if, on joyful wing, cleaving the sky;
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE
Nearer, my God, to Thee--nearer to Thee!
