Lyrics

Verse 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! E'en 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! Verse 2 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! Verse 3 Nearer, my Lord, to Thee, nearer to thee! Who to the cross didst come, dying for me! Strengthen my willing feet, hold me in service sweet Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! Verse 4 Nearer, O Comforter, nearer to thee! Who with my loving Lord dwellest with me! Grant me thy fellowship! help me each day to keep Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! Verse 5 But to be nearer still, bring me, O God, Not by the visioned steeps angels have trod. Here where thy cross I see, Jesus, I wait for thee, Then evermore to be nearer to Thee! Verse 6 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. Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!...
