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!
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 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!
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee -
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
