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 Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky Sun moon and stars forgot Upward I'll fly Still all my song shall be Nearer my God to Thee Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee
