songs from old hymnbooks/Nearer My God to Thee

[WingsofaDove]

Lyrics

1. 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
2. (Chorus)
   Nearer, my God, to thee,
   Nearer, my God, to thee,
   Nearer to thee!
3. 2. Though like the wanderer,
   The sun gone down,
   Darkness be over me,
   My rest a stone,
   Yet in my dreams I'd be
4. 3. There let the way appear,
   Steps unto heav'n;
   All that thou sendest me,
   In mercy giv'n;
   Angels to beckon me
5. 4. Then with my waking thoughts
   Bright with thy praise,
   Out of my stony griefs
   Bethel I'll raise;
   So by my woes to be
6. 5. Or if, on joyful wing
   Cleaving the sky,
   Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
   Upward I fly,
   Still all my song shall be
7. Text: Sarah F. Adams, 1805-1848
   Music: attr. to Lowell Mason, 1792-1872
