Nearer, My God, to Thee

Music by Lowell Mason, words by Sarah Flower Adams

Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
Even though it be a cross
That raises 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

There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me

There in my Father's home,
Safe and at rest,
There in my Savior's love,
Perfectly blessed;
Age after age to be
