Author: Sarah Adams Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.2 #125 (1889) First Line: Nearer, my God, to thee Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to thee!
Nearer to thee,
E’en tho’ it be a cross
That raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
2 Tho’ 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 heav’n;
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy giv’n;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee! Tune Title: [Nearer, my God, to thee]
Nearer My God, to Thee
