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

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

Or if on joyful wing cleaving the sky

Sun moon and stars forgot upward I fly

Still all my song shall be

Nearer my God to thee;

Nearer my God to thee nearer to thee
