nearer my

God

to thee

	NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE
		NEARER TO THEE.
	E'EN THOUGH IT BE A CROSS
		THAT RAISETH ME.
	STILL ALL MY SONG SHALL BE, NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE,
		NEARER TO THEE.
	THOUGH, LIKE A WANDERER,
		THE SUN GONE DOWN,
	DARKNESS COMES OVER ME,
		MY REST A STONE:
	YET IN MY DREAMS I'D BE NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE,
		NEARER TO THEE.
	THERE LET MY WAY APPEAR
		STEPS UNTO HEAVEN,
	ALL THAT THOU SENDEST ME
		IN MERCY GIVEN:
	ANGELS TO BECKON ME NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE,
		NEARER TO THEE.
	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 TO THEE.
