1. Nearer, my God, to thee,Nearer to thee!E’en though it be a crossThat raiseth me.Still all my song shall beNearer, my God to thee,Nearer, my God to thee,Nearer to thee!
2. Though like the wanderer,The sun gone down,Darkness be over me,My rest a stone,Yet in my dreams I’d beNearer, my God to thee,Nearer, my God to thee,Nearer to thee!
3. Or if, on joyful wingCleaving the sky,Sun, moon, and stars forgot,Upward I fly,Still all my song shall be,Nearer, my God to thee,Nearer, my God to thee,Nearer to thee!
