EARER, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee
!
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me ;
Still, all my song would be, —
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee !
HOUGH, like the wanderer,
Daylight all gone,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone ;
Yet in my dreams I 'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee !

S^ HERE let the way appear

In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee !

HEN with my waking thoughts,
Bright with thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I '11 raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee

Upward I fly, —
Still, all my song shall be :
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee
!
HRIST alone beareth me
Where Thou dost shine;
Joint-heir he maketh me
Of the Divine
!
In Christ my soul shall be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee
!
