37 Nearer, My God To Thee

Nearer,my God,to Thee,
Nearer to thee!
E’en tho’ 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.

Tho’ like a wonderer, Day-light all gone,
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 up to 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 watching tho’ts Bright with thy praise,
Out of my stormy 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.
