Nearer My God To Thee

[G]Nearer, my [C]God, to Thee
[G]Nearer to [D]Thee
[G]E'en though it [C]be a cross
[G]That [D7]raiseth [G]me
[G]Still [C]all my [G]song would be
[G]Nearer, my [C]God, to [D7]Thee
[G]Nearer my [C]God to Thee, [G]near[D7]er to [G]Thee

[G]Though, like the [C]wanderer
The [G]sun gone [D]down
[G]Darkness be [C]over me
[G]My rest [D7]a  [G]stone
[G]Yet [C]in my [G]dreams I'd be
[G]Nearer, my [C]God, to [D7]Thee
[G]Nearer to [C]Thee, [G]near[D7]er to [G]Thee

There let the way appear
Steps up to heaven
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer 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 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 to Thee, nearer to Thee
