Nearer, My God, to Thee Lyrics

Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me

Still all my song shall be

Searer, my God, to thee

Searer, 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, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

There let the way appear, steps unto heaven

All that thou sendest me, in mercy given

Angels to beckon me

Nearer, my God, to thee

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, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

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, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

There in my Father's home, safe and at rest

There in my Saviour's love, perfectly blest

Age after age to be

Nearer, my God, to thee

Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!
