NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE

Nearer, my God, to thee,\nNearer to thee!\nE’en though it be a cross\nThat raiseth me:\nStill all my song would be,\n‘Nearer, my God, to thee,\nNearer to thee!’\n2. Though, like the wanderer,\nThe sun gone down,\nDarkness be over me,\nMy rest a stone;\nYet in my dreams I’d be\nNearer, my God, to thee,\nNearer to thee!\n3. There let the way appear,\nSteps unto heaven;\nAll that thou send’st to me\nIn mercy given:\nAngels to beckon me\nNearer, my God, to thee,\nNearer to thee!
