Refrain First Line: Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! 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. Refrain: Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! 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. 2 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. [Refrain] 3 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. [Refrain] 4 Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I’ll fly, Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee. [Refrain] 5 There in my Father’s home, safe and at rest, There in my Savior’s love, perfectly blest; Age after age to be nearer, my God, to Thee.

New every morning is the love

Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 362 hymnals Matching Instances: 349 Lyrics: 1 New ev'ry morning is the love our wak'ning and uprising prove; through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life and pow'r and thought. 2 New mercies, each returning day, hover around us while we pray; new perils past, new sins forgiv'n, new thoughts of God, new hopes of heav'n. 3 If on our daily course our mind be set to hallow all we find, new treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice. 4 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be, as more of heav'n in each we see; some softening gleam of love and prayer shall dawn on ev'ry cross and care. 5 The trivial round, the common task, will furnish all we need to ask, room to deny ourselves, a road to bring us daily nearer God. 6 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love fit us for perfect rest above; and help us, this and ev'ry day, to live more nearly as we pray.
