Kate Smith - Nearer My God To Thee lyrics

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, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Chorus
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!
Chorus
There let the way appear steps unto heav’n;
All that Thou sendest me in mercy giv’n;
Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Chorus
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, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Chorus
Or if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upwards I fly
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
