Daniel O'donnell Nearer My God To Thee Lyrics

Nearer, My God, to Thee
Words by Sarah F. Adams
Music by Lowell Mason

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!

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 nearer, my God to Thee

Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!

There let the way appear, steps unto Heav'n;
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!

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!

Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I'll fly
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

There in my Father's home, safe and at rest
There in my Savior's love, perfectly blest;
Age after age to be, nearer my God to Thee

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
