 Nearer, My God, to Thee - Sarah F. Adams 1841 Music: Lowell Mason Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee, E'en thought 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 let the way appear, Steps unto Heaven: All that Thou sendest me, In mercy giv'n: Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee, Then, with my wakeing tho'ts 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, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee, Of 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, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee, |
