Nearer to God. 1 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 to thee! 2 Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be, 3 There let the way appear, All that thou send'st me, 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'll raise: So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to thee Nearer to thee! 5 Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upwards I fly: Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee Nearer to thee! 379 6 & 4s.
