The Gospel Awakening ‎#83

83. Nearer, my God, to Thee

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 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
Nearer, my God, to Thee!
Nearer to Thee!

3. There let the way appear,
Steps unto heaven;
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee!
