"Nearer, My God, to Thee"
Music: Lowell Mason, 1856 Lyrics: Sarah Fuller Adams, 1840 Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! Even 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! Though like a 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! There let the way appear steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given; Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! Or, if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly; Still all my song shall, nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! |
