NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE
Sarah Fuller Flower Adams & Lowell Mason
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!
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 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 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, upwards I fly
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee!
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
