Nearer my God to Thee

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, 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 Oh.

 

 

Or if on joyful wings, 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.

Nearer to Thee.
