Nearer My God to Thee
Sarah Adams
Lowell Mason
1856

Intro
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to thee!
Even though 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!

Though 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!

There let the way appear, steps unto heaven
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given
Angels to beckon me, nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to thee!

Then with my walking thoughts bright with Thy praise
Out of my stony griefs 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, upward I fly
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to thee!
