Lyrics
1 Nearer, my God, to Thee,
nearer to Thee!
e'en though it be a cross
that raiseth me,
still all my song shall be:
'Nearer, my God to Thee, (repeat)
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 be
nearer, my God to Thee,
nearer to Thee!
3 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 to Thee!
4 Then, with my waking 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 to Thee!
5 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 to Thee!'
Sarah Fuller Adams (1805-1848)
