Nearer my God to Thee nearer to Thee
In though it be a cross that raiseth me
Still all my songs shall be nearer my God to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee nearer to Thee
(Though like a wanderer the sun comes 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 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
