Nearer, my God to Thee, nearer to Thee Even 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 Though like the wanderer the sun gone down Darkness be over me, my rest a stone Yet in my dreams I'll 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, upward I fly Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee
