Over deze songtekst:
Sarah Flower Adams schreef de tekst in 1841. Haar zus Eliza zette de tekst op muziek. Het lied vertelt het verhaal van Jacob's droom dat je kunt vinden in Genesis 28.
Wie de film 'Titanic' kent, weet misschien nog wel dat dit het laatste stukje muziek was dat de band speelde voor het schip zonk.
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee Even 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 heav' All that Thou sendest me, in mercy give Angels to beckon me, 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, upwards I fly 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 Nearer, my God to Thee, 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 grief, Bethel I'll raise So by my woes to be, nearer my God to thee Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee
