# 473 Nearer My God, To Thee
1. 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.
2. Though like a wanderer, Daylight all gone, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; 0 Yet in my dreams I’d be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee.
3. There let the way appear, Steps up to heaven; All that Thou sendest me, In mercy given Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee Nearer to Thee.
4. 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.
