Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee
And though it be a cross that raises me

Still all my songs shall be
Nearer, my God to Thee.

Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee

Though like a wanderer the sun come 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 into 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...
