Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song would 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 alone. 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 stongriefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be 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!
