Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee Een 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

Verse 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

Verse 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 Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee
