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

Princes must die and turn to dust; Their breath departs, their pomp and power, And thoughts all vanish in an hour. 4 Happy the man, whose hopes rely On Israel’s God: He made the sky, And earth, and seas, with all their train, And none shall find his promise vain. 5 His truth forever stands secure; He saves th’ opprest, he feeds the poor; He sends the labouring conscience peace, And grants the prisoner sweet release. 6 The Lord to sight restores the blind; The Lord supports the sinking mind; He helps the stranger in distress, The widow and the fatherless. 7 He loves his saints, he knows them well; But turns the wicked down to hell; Thy God, O Zion, ever reigns; Praise him in everlasting strains.
