Nearer, My God, to Thee
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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!
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 Heav’n
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy giv’n
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’ll 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 Savior’s love, perfectly blest
Age after age to be nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
