Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me

There let the way appear
Steps unto heav'n
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy giv'n

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

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
Upward I fly
