Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee, Even though it be a cross that brings death near. Still, though 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, Oh, like a wanderer, the sun gone down, Darkness be over me, my rest assured, Yet in my dreams I'd be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee. There, that the wave of grief steps into heav'n, Oh, that the sadness be mercy giv'n, Angels to beckon me, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee, My God, to Thee.
