Nearer my God, to Thee
Appears in 2,534 hymnals First Line: Nearer, my God, to Thee 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, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
2 Deep in thy Sacred Heart
Let me abide,
Thou that hast bled for me,
Sorrowed, and died;
Sweet shall my weeping be,
Grief surely leading me,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
3 Friends may depart from me,
Night may come down,
Clouds of adversity
Darken and frown;
Still through my tears I'll see
Hope gently leading me,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
4 What, though the shadows fall,
Naught shall I fear;
When darkest seems the night,
Morning is near.
Sweet shall my trusting be
Sorrow still bringing me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
5 And when the goal is won,
How like a dream,
In the dim retrospect,
Sorrow will seem.
Sweet will my transports be,
Jesus, thy face to see,
When I have come, at last,
Nearer to Thee. Used With Tune: [Nearer, my God, to Thee]
Nearer my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee!

Nearer to Thee!
Through Word and Sacrament
Thou com'st to me.
Thy grace is ever near,
Thy Spirit ever here,
Drawing to Thee.
2 Ages on ages rolled,
Ere earth appeared,
Yet Thine unmeasured love
Thy way prepared;
E'en then thou yearned for me
That I might nearer be,
Nearer to Thee!
3 Thy Son has come to earth,
My sin to bear,
My every wound to heal,
My pain to share.
"God in the flesh" for me,
Brings me now nearer Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
4 Lo! all my debt is paid,
My guilt is gone.
See! He has risen for me,
My throne is won.
Thanks, O my God, to Thee!
None now can nearer be,
Nearer to Thee!
5 Welcome, then, to Thy home,
Blest One in Three!
As Thou hast promised, come!
Come, Lord, to me!
Work Thou, O God, through me,
Live Thou, O God, in me,
Ever in me.
6 By the baptismal stream,
Which made me Thine,
By the dear flesh and blood,
Thy love made mine,
Purge Thou all sin from me,
That I may nearer be,
Nearer to Thee!
7 Surely it matters not
What earth may bring,
Death is of no account,
Grace will I sing.
Nothing remains for me,
Save to be nearer Thee,
Nearer to Thee! Topics: God the Father Desire For; God's Grace Means of; Holiness; Redemption Used With Tune: NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE
