Nearer My God To Thee

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

There let the way appear, steps unto Heav'
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy give
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, upwards I fly
Still all my song shall be nearer my God to Thee

Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee

There in my Father’s home, safe and at rest
There in my Savior's love, perfectly blest;
Age after age to be nearer, my God, to Thee
