Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee
\nE\u2019en though it be a cross that raiseth me
\nStill all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee<\/span><\/p>\n

Nearer, my God, to Thee<\/span>
\n Nearer to Thee<\/span><\/p>\n

Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down<\/span>
\n Darkness be over me, my rest a stone<\/span>
\n Yet in my dreams I\u2019d be nearer, my God to Thee<\/span><\/p>\n

There let the way appear, steps unto Heav\u2019n<\/span>
\n All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given<\/span>
\n Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise<\/span>
\n Out of my stony griefs Bethel I\u2019ll raise<\/span>
\n So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee<\/span><\/p>\n

Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky<\/span>
\n Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I\u2019ll fly<\/span>
\n Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee<\/span><\/p>\n

There in my Father\u2019s home, safe and at rest<\/span>
\n There in my Savior\u2019s love, perfectly blest<\/span>
\n Age after age to be, nearer my God to Thee<\/span><\/p>\n
