Lyric : NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE

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!

THERE LET THE WAY APPEAR, STEPS UNTO HEAVEN
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!
