Nearer My God

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee

Ev’n though it be a cross that raiseth me,

Still all my song shall be,

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to thee

Deep in Thy sacred heart let me abide

Thou who hast bled for mensorrowed and died

Sweet shall my weeping be,ngrief surely leading me

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee

Friends may depart from me,nnight may come down

Clouds of adversity darken and frown

Still through my tears I’ll seenhope gently leading me

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee

And when the goal is won,nhow like a dream

In the dim retrospect, sorrow will seem

Sweet will my transport be

Jesus, thy face to see

When I have come at last, nearer to Thee
