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! Scripture: Genesis 28:10-22 Used With Tune: BETHANY
