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 a wanderer
Daylight upon
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

Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to
