Author: Sarah F. Adams, 1805-1848 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #117 (2018) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 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 my 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! Topics: The Assembly at Worship Grace, Mercy, Assurance; Petition; Supplication; Temptation/Trial Scripture: Genesis 28:10-22 Languages: English Tune Title: BETHANY
