Nearer my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
E`en thought 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 the 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!
Or, if on joyful wings, cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon and stars forgot, upward I`ll fly,
Still all my song shall be, nearer my God, to Thee,
Nearer my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
There in my Father`s home, safe and at rest,
There in my Saviour`s love, perfectly blessed,
Age after age to be, nearer my God, to Thee,
Nearer my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! |
