Nearer my God to thee Nearer to thee Even 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'll 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 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.
