Nearer my god to thee

Nearer to thee

Even though it be

A cross that raises me

Still all my song shall be

Nearer my god to thee

Nearer my god to thee

Nearer to thee

There let the way appear

Steps unto 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

Or if on joyful wing

Cleaving the sky

Sun moon and stars forgot

Upwards I fly

Still all my song shall be

Nearer my god to thee

Nearer my god to thee

Nearer to thee

Nearer to thee
