Nearer To Thee

The minister was preaching

And the crowd was standing near

The congregation was singing a tune

In a voice that was loud and clear



You know the crowd that stood around him

They were crying, I could plainly see

For the song that they sang was touching

They were singing 'Nearer My God To Thee'



O, nearer my God to Thee, nearer, nearer to Thee

We kept on singing, nearer my God, nearer my God to Thee

Oh Lord, we kept on singing nearer

Nearer my God, nearer, nearer to Thee

They kept on singing, nearer my, my God, nearer my God to Thee

Oh yes, nearer, nearer



Songs have a feeling

There's a story in every song we sing

Songs that are known to lift heavy burdens

If all of our troubles, to God we oughta bring



And if we are Christians we ought not to be ashamed

To lift our voices, admire Jesus' name

We ought to be able to sing, nearer, nearer my God to Thee

Oh help me Lord, lift our voices and sing, nearer, nearer, nearer yes



Nearer, I want to get nearer to Thee

When I get lonely I can sing, nearer

Nearer my God to Thee, yes I can

I just bow down and say nearer and nearer, nearer

Nearer my God to Thee, nearer, nearer my God to Thee
