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, 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, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

3 There let the way appear, steps unto heav'n;
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!

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, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

5 Or if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly,
still all my song shall be:
nearer, my God, to Thee;
nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
