"Nearer, My God, To Thee" lyrics

Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee
Even though it be a cross
That raiseth me

Still all my song will 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

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
The sun and 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
