Nearer My God To Thee Lyrics & Chords

Text: Sarah F. Adams, Music: Lowell Mason,

(D)Nearer, my (G)God, to thee,
(D)Nearer to (A)thee!
(D)E'en though it (G)be a cross
(D)That (A)raiseth (D)me.
(D)Still (G)all (D)my song shall be
Chorus
(D)Near(G)er, (D)my God, to (A)thee,
(D)Nearer, my (G)God, to thee,
(D)Nea(A)rer to (D)thee!
Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone,
Yet in my dreams I'd be
There let the way appear,
Steps unto heav'n;
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy giv'n;
Angels to beckon me
Then with my waking thoughts
Bright with thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Or if, on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be
