50. Meare. 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,

Refrain
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 Refrain

3 There let the way appear,
Steps unto heav'n:
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy giv'n:
Angels to beckon me Refrain

4 Then, with my waking tho'ts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be Refrain

5 Or if on joyful wing,
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I'll fly,
Still all my song shall be, Refrain
