Nearer My God to Thee

Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee!

E'en tho' 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.



Tho' 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.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



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