473- Nearer My God, to Thee

Christian Life: Hope and Comfort

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.

2

  • Though like a wanderer,
  • Daylight 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.

3

  • There let the way appear,
  • Steps up to heaven;
  • All that Thou sendest me,
  • In mercy given;
  • Angels to beckon me
  • Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  • Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  • Nearer to Thee.

4

  • Then, with my waking thoughts
  • Bright with Thy praise,
  • Out of my stony griefs
  • Bethel I raise;
  • So by my woes to be
  • Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  • Nearer, my God, to Thee,
  • Nearer to Thee.

5

  • 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.
