NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE
Lowell Mason/Sarah Flower Adams
NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE, NEARER TO THEE
E’EN THOUGH IT BE A CROSS THAT RAISETH ME
STILL ALL MY SONG WOULD 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!
ALL THAT THOU SEND’ST TO ME IN MERCY GIVEN
ANGELS TO BECKON ME
NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE
NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE, NEARER TO THEE!
