Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee;E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me,Still all my song shall beNearer, my God, to Thee,Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 2.Though, like a wanderer, The sun gone down,Darkness comes over me, My rest a stone;Yet in my dreams I'd beNearer, my God, to Thee,Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 3. There let me see the sight, An open heaven;All that Thou sendest me, In mercy given;Angels to beckon meNearer, my God, to Thee,Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 4. Then, with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise,Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise,So by my woes to beNearer, my God, to Thee,Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Words:, Sarah F. Adams, 6.
